Returning star Postponed bids for back-to-back victories in the Dubai City of Gold at Meydan on Saturday.
A narrow winner of the King George at Ascot two years ago, when trained by Luca Cumani, Postponed was then moved across Newmarket to Roger Varian's yard and made a successful start for his new trainer in this Group Two event on 'Super Saturday' 12 months ago.
That victory ignited a near-perfect campaign, with the six-year-old following up in the Dubai Sheema Classic before adding to his top-level tally in the Coronation Cup at Epsom and the Juddmonte International at York.
He was beaten into fifth place when hot favourite for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe when last seen, but having enjoyed a winter break, he will be widely expected to get 2017 off to a successful start.
Varian said: "He worked on Wednesday morning and went nicely, so we're looking forward to Saturday.
"I'd say he's in similar shape to how he was 12 months ago. We're happy with him and he's fit enough to do himself justice, but hopefully he'll improve."
Andrea Atzeni has steered Postponed to all but one of his nine career victories and is relishing the opportunity to get the leg-up on him again this weekend.
"We gave him a bit of work on the grass the other day and he went well," said the jockey.
"He's ready to run. I'm sure he'll come on for it, but hopefully he's ready enough to win.
"It's great a horse like Postponed has stayed in training as a six-year-old and it will be great to ride him again."
Postponed is joined by stable companion and pacemaker King Bolete in a 10-strong field that also includes the Godolphin-owned quartet of Famous Kid, Memorial Day, Prize Money and Emotionless.
It could be a big night for Atzeni, with the Italian rider also keen on the chances of Decorated Knight in the Group One Jebel Hatta.
Roger Charlton's chestnut entire steps up in class after a narrow success in last month's Winter Derby Trial at Lingfield.
"I'm looking forward to riding him," said Atzeni. "He's obviously already had a run his year, so he's fit and ready to go.
"He's a horse that is getting better as he gets older and he's got a nice draw.
"I think he's got a good chance in what looks a winnable race."
The William Haggas-trained Muffri'Ha and Mick Channon's Epsom Icon also go to post for the nine-furlong event.
The other Group One prize up for grabs is the third round of the Al Maktoum Challenge.
Saeed bin Suroor saddles Move Up, who has not been seen since winning the Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot last October.
"This will be Move Up's first start on dirt but he has been doing well in training," Bin Suroor told www.godolphin.com.
"He won a Group Three race over a mile and a half on his latest start, but we wanted to give him a chance over a mile and a quarter on the dirt to see how he gets on.
"He has improved physically and is ready to go."
There is a strong British representation in the Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint.
Paul Midgley's Final Venture has already enjoyed a fine Carnival and the Westow-based trainer is anticipating another bold show.
He said: "It's the first time we've had a runner on 'Super Saturday' and we're looking forward to it.
"They tell me he's in good form. He's won two races out there for us already and the form of the race he finished third in is rock solid.
"He has a little bit to find with the two that beat him (Baccarat and Jungle Cat), but he's in good order and you'd have to say he looks like a Group horse.
"We're hoping for a good, solid run. All proceeds will be gratefully received and then we'll hopefully move on to World Cup night."
