Trainer Marco Botti does not want to see any further rain for Moohaajim ahead of the Aon Greenham Stakes at Newbury.
The Cape Cross colt showed top-class form as a two-year-old when he won the Mill Reef Stakes, after which he was just touched off by Reckless Abandon in the Middle Park.
Botti has had this established 2000 Guineas trial earmarked for some time, but believes Moohaajim would not be seen at his best if it rained.
The handler said: "I've been very pleased with him through the winter and I've been looking forward to running him. On Friday the guys were saying it was just on the soft side of good and there's a little bit of rain forecast. I don't want to run him on soft ground as he wouldn't be at his best. He looks very well and has been training well."
