Michael Tabor's three-year-old, set to carry 8st 7lb, is a top-priced 12-1 favourite with Coral for the pounds 75,000 handicap on 2 August.
Bookmakers are taking no chances with the colt, who was the subject of a major gamble - backed down to 7-1 favourite at the off - before going down by just a head to Selhurstpark Flyer in the Wokingham after failing to obtain a clear run.
Neville Callaghan, Danetime's trainer, is likely to give him a race next week in preparation for the six-furlong contest. He said: "I haven't made the entry yet but Danetime will probably run at Newmarket."
