 Godolphin's only entrant, Udododontu looks be in fine form form to yield result in tonight's Meydan racecourse card.
The run, sponsored by Meydan Sobha, could provide a stepping stone to the Dubai World Cup Carnival for a select group of runners.
All eyes will be on the former Richard Guest-trained four-year-old in the concluding 1600m handicap, one of two cracking turf contests on the card.
This will be Udododontu's first start in the Godolphin blue with Harry Bentley partnering him for his new trainer, Saeed bin Suroor.
He won twice in the UK before producing a career best effort on his sixth and final start for Guest when a close second in the prestigious Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot.
He looks the type of horse Godolphin have a great record with and it will be disappointing if he cannot make a winning local debut.
Full racecards can be viewed at www.emiratesracing.com and gates open at 2pm with the first race at 4pm. Tickets are available at Gates B and C.
"He is a nice horse and hopefully a good addition to the yard," said Bentley. "He has been working well and, although he will improve for the outing, is certainly ready for a run."
Should he fail to fire, there are several among his nine opponents who look likely to benefit from returning to turf having raced on dirt recently.
