Roger Charlton admits Top Offer will need to show "considerable" improvement if he is to win the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
The once-raced colt was an impressive winner of a Newbury maiden last season, but missed his intended trial in the Greenham Stakes due to very soft ground, and the trainer still harbours doubts about his ability to be seen at his best in those conditions.
"Top Offer has been our big hope since last August and finally we are nearly there. He is a wonderful looking colt with great presence and an easy action that may not be suited by the soft ground," said the Beckhampton handler.

Harbour Watch will soon step up his recovery from injury as his connections dream of what might have been in the Qipco 2000 Guineas.
The Richard Hannon-trained colt was unbeaten in three juvenile starts and was towards the forefront of the Guineas market before a setback ruled him out of the Rowley Mile Classic.
David Redvers, racing manager for part-owners Qatar Bloodstock, feels the three-year-old would have taken a lot of beating had he lined up.

Godolphin landed last year's Qipco 1000 Guineas with Blue Bunting and have two strings to their bow as they bid to follow up on Sunday.
Both Lyric Of Light and Discourse put unbeaten records on the line at Newmarket for trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni.
Frankie Dettori rides Fillies' Mile heroine Lyric Of Light, and Al Zarooni said: "She won a Group One last year and proved she's a nice filly. She worked on the Rowley Mile (at the Craven meeting) and she worked very nicely."
