Hugo Palmer says Escobar could make the step up in class for next appearance and run in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The three-year-old had been under consideration to run in the English and French 2,000 Guineas but swerved both dates, instead making a low profile seasonal bow at Sandown Park in the Heron Stakes.
Escobar had to settle for second on that occasion but Palmer says he could be ready to move up in class for the Group Three Jersey Stakes on what will be his debut at the Royal meeting.
Palmer told Sky Sports: “We are going to think about the Jersey with him as he has got that seven-furlong speed.
“It looked like he came there to win his race at Sandown and I know the winner had the run of the race, but it was possible that he just outstayed us over that stiff mile.
“Seven furlongs at Ascot should suit him and the owners are from Jersey, so it would be lovely to win the Jersey for them.”
