James Given is mapping out an ambitious and exciting programme in 2011 for his globe-trotting duo of Dandino and Indian Days.
The trainer is targeting major international events such as the Singapore International Airlines Cup, the Breeders' Cup and the Canadian International.
Both fared creditably on their recent forays on the other side of the world without troubling the judge.
Dandino stayed on well to be only beaten six lengths in 11th place in the Japan Cup, while Indian Days had no luck in the Hong Kong Vase following trips to Turkey and Italy.
"Indian Days arrived back on Friday and Dandino has been back two weeks," said Given.
"Dandino was a bit quiet after his race. He's a young horse and it took quite a lot out of him. He would have learned a lot from the experience and it sets him up very nicely for next season.
"Both will have similar targets next year. They may well start off together in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket on Guineas day.
"Then there's the Coronation Cup for Dandino while Indian Days might be looking at Singapore for the International Airlines Cup over a mile and a quarter (2000m) in May.
"Then the Hardwicke maybe for Dandino. I don't think we'll go to Ascot with Indian Days. He's run there a few times and run OK but without doing that well.
"Later in the season we've got the Canadian International, possibly the Breeders' Cup, and then Hong Kong again at the end of the year."
