Panama Hat will be left in both the Palmerstown House Estate Irish St Leger and the KPMG Enterprise Stakes on Irish Champions Weekend at the confirmation stage.
Connections are favouring the Group One St Leger on the back of his brave effort at Arlington last time out when worn down close home in the American version.
"We're still leaning towards the Leger with him," said trainer Andy Oliver.
"As yet we haven't had a final chat with the owners and he'll be left in both at the five-day stage.
"He took the whole trip to America remarkably well. I can't see an obvious winner of the Leger, so it could be worth having a go.
"I think it will cut up to quite a small field and then you're looking at three or four main contenders and on ratings we don't have much to find.
"We're up to 111 now and that puts him right in the mix.
"It's a nice position to be in, but on the other hand you don't want to make the wrong decision."
