Paul Hanagan is eager to see how Muthmir fares when stepped up to Listed company in the Albert Bartlett Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
The five-furlong event, better known as the Rous Stakes, represents another step up the ladder for William Haggas' charge, who ran out a two-length winner of the Portland at Doncaster, despite stumbling at the start.
Muthmir clocked a new track record that day and having been boosted to a rating of 108, the four-year-old now makes the transition in class.
Hanagan told At The Races: "Everyone has seen how well Muthmir won the Portland and he broke the track record.
"He's in great order so I'm really looking forward to getting on him."
Muthmir faces 12 rivals at the Berkshire track, with Ajjaadd, Ladies Are Forever and Steps leading contenders on recent form.
