Godolphin's Worldly Manner, unraced since his Preakness Stakes flop last May, returns to action in the second round of the Maktoum Challenge under Frankie Dettori at Nad Al Sheba on Thursday evening.
Previously seventh in the Kentucky Derby, the four-year-old resumed proper training at the end of October.
Trainer Saeed bin Suroor is responsible for half of the eight-runner field in the nine-furlong Listed contest run on dirt.
The quartet includes the first and second in the first heat of the Maktoum Challenge, Siege and Goombayland, plus the eighth Comeonmom.
