Rain required for next Anmaat adventure
Burrows felt the going in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown was not to his liking so swerved that engagement and wants some cut in the ground before sending the son of Awtaad back to the racecourse.
He said: 'He's all good, all very good. We're just praying for a little drop of rain at some stage.
'I don't feel he's done anything wrong in either run. I thought it was a bit quick at Sandown and when it went good to firm, firm in places, I was quite pleased that I wasn't tempted.
'We're sort of working back from Ascot, he's in really good form so it would be nice if we did get some rain and we could get him out again.
'We'll have a look at the Juddmonte International, it would be ground dependent and there's obviously Ireland (Irish Champion Stakes) as well, but that's not until September so we'll just have to see.
'There's a bit of rain about this weekend I believe, but how long that will last – who knows? We'll just have to play it by ear.'
Remmooz is likely to remain in handicap company after being raised 4lb for his York victory in the John Smith's Racing Handicap.
The Blue Point colt is three from four, with his one defeat coming at Group level in the Jersey Stakes, and Burrows is keen to make the best of his rating for the time being.
Burrows said: 'Obviously he'd run a tidy enough race at Ascot and up in grade we felt the mile at York would suit him, not so much get him back on track because I don't feel he'd come off track, but it was nice to get another win under his name.
'He's a progressive horse who was unraced as a two-year-old. He's got a decent profile and they put him up 4lb, so he's 102 now. Fingers crossed we can keep going the right way.
'I might give him one more shot in a handicap to be honest, I've not fully decided yet.
'I still feel off 102 we could be competitive in one of those nice handicaps, I'm not 100 per cent certain but it would be more than likely that we would give him one more shot in a handicap.'

See The Fire primed to go one better than last year at Goodwood
The four-year-old was beaten a neck by Opera Singer when second in the Group One last season, and proved she had gone from strength to strength over the winter when winning the Middleton Stakes at York by 12 lengths in May. Her most recent run was a fine third in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot, and another bid for the Nassau now looks her next step as Balding seeks to pave the way to the Breeders' Cup. He said: 'She's a beautifully-bred filly, by Sea The Stars, who won a Juddmonte International, out of Arabian Queen, who also won a Juddmonte International. 'She's always looked a very smart filly. As a three-year-old, we didn't really see the best of her until we got to the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood, where she was narrowly beaten.' Of her last run Balding, added: 'We thought she ran a super race at Ascot, against the boys, in the Prince of Wales's. She's had a little break since then with the view to preparing her for the Nassau again, and hopefully going one better than we did last year. 'The Prince of Wales's this year was run at a ferocious gallop and it suited the closers. In hindsight, we rode her to sit in behind Los Angeles, and focus on beating him, which left us vulnerable at the end of the race. Having said that, they're top-class horses and we might not have beaten them whatever we'd done. 'It was still a career-best performance, and she'll have an easier time, you'd have thought, against her own sex, in the Nassau. It's never easy at Group One level, but she's going there in great shape.' The Nassau Stakes serves as a 'Win and You're In' qualifier for the Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, granting the winner an automatic fees-paid berth into the $2million contest at Del Mar in November. 'The win and you're in incentive is very important for any owner, it certainly pushes the Breeders' Cup to the forefront of your priorities,' Balding said of the prospect of heading to California. 'The Breeders' Cup is a hugely important meeting worldwide, but it does come at the end of a long season so it really depends on how she is training at the end of the season, and what happens between now and then, but it's very much on the shortlist for our autumn campaign. 'It would be lovely to think one day we would have a horse good enough to be competitive in a Breeders' Cup race, we've had a couple of runners so far but no joy, so it's something very much that we are striving to achieve.'
