Runaway King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes winner Daylami will bid to prove himself Europe's middle-distance champion in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
The grey, five-length conqueror of stable-companion Nedawi at Ascot on Saturday, is likely to warm up for Longchamp with a tilt at the Esat Digifone Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, September 11th.
Daylami is 11 to 2 third favourite for the Arc (from 20 to 1) with William Hill and Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said: "Obviously those two races are under serious consideration by Sheikh Maktoum because timingwise they fit into his schedule very well.
"The Arc is a big target for any of the top older horses and that's the race I think we'll be aiming him at."
Crisford added that it is too early to be contemplating a race at the Breeders' Cup for Daylami and he admitted that although he was confident of victory on Saturday he did not anticipate such a clear-cut triumph.
"He went into the race in fantastic shape and the manner of his win was very pleasing to all of us. This horse is so versatile and I think he's now shown beyond doubt that he's as good a horse over a mile and a half as he is over a mile and a quarter," he said.
Godolphin were also delighted at the prominent showing of last year's St Leger winner Nedawi.
"We're absolutely delighted with Nedawi," Crisford said. "But it's a little bit early for us to make a firm plan for him."
Looking ahead to Goodwood, Crisford revealed that Cape Cross or Lend A Hand could join hot favourite Aljabr in the field for Wednesday's Champagne Lanson Sussex Stakes.
He said: "All three horses are fit and well. Aljabr is a definite runner but we won't decide until tomorrow whether one of the others joins him in the race."
But he warned that Kayf Tara may miss Thursday's Goodwood Cup if the ground becomes unsuitably firm.
Either beaten Vodafone Oaks favourite Zahrat Dubai or last year's 1,000 Guineas winner Cape Verdi could represent Godolphin in next Saturday's Group One Vodafone Nassau Stakes.
