Iberian will bid to offer fitness instructor Charlie Hills with back-to-back success in the Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday.
The Lambourn handler declared the Group Two prize with Mitbaahy 12 months back and will have high hopes of including to his tally with a horse who was last seen decreasing a neck to Spycatcher in the Cammidge Trophy on the opening day of the season at Doncaster.
With Hills eager to stick at six furlongs, Iberian had the option of running at York in Wednesday's 1895 Duke of York Stakes, however he is rather being prepared for a trip across the Irish Sea.
"He's very well, we're truly pleased with him. We decided to bypass York and we're going for the Greenlands rather," stated Hills.
"The track must suit him well and if he runs well there then it might be good timing to then go to the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
"I was really delighted with his Doncaster run, he was most likely a bit unlucky with the method he dived throughout the track and seemed to lose his concentration for a little bit.

"He hit the line strong though, so we'll put that behind us now and anticipate the rest of the season."
Another Hills prisoner who began his season on an excellent note is Cicero's Gift, with the five-year-old completing 3rd in a competitive renewal of the Group Two bet365 Mile at Sandown.
However, current plans are on hold for the boy of Muhaarar, who prefers simple ground underfoot.
"We have actually simply got to wait up until it starts to rain. It's truly hard to make plans with him at the minute, it's been so dry," Hills added.
"We'll keep our alternatives open through the year however he's constantly been at his finest when he can get into the ground, so we'll just need to be client and wait on the rain."
