Side Glance, third to Frankel at Royal Ascot, is likely to test his powers over a mile and a quarter for the first time in Saturday's Sky Bet York Stakes.
Andrew Balding's five-year-old was a Group Three winner over a mile last season and struck at the same level over nine furlongs in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom in June.
He ran arguably a career-best when third behind the world's highest-rated horse in the Queen Anne Stakes, and Balding thinks it is worth testing his charge's stamina at the longer trip.

NAHRAIN ON RECOVERY MISSION.

Roger Varian is seeking a return to form from Nahrain when she lines up in the Group One Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday week.
The four-year-old won the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp last October before finishing a close second in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Churchill Downs a month later.
However, the Selkirk filly could finish only a disappointing ninth on her reappearance in the Windsor Forest Stakes at Royal Ascot.
