One of last year's highest rated two-year-olds, Spirit of Sharjah, is set to return to his former trainer, Julia Feilden, subject to vetting.
The son of Invincible Spirit was one of the highlights of 2007, bringing success to Feilden's small Newmarket yard after he won his first two races, including a listed race at Goodwood, and then went on to put up a brave performance in the Norfolk Stakes to finish third behind the unbeaten Winker Watson.
Indeed, it was Winker Watson's trainer, Peter Chapple-Hyam, who was to benefit from this run, since after two disappointing runs in the July Stakes and the Molcombe, Spirit of Sharjah's owner, Alan Dee, decided to send his charge to the Derby winning trainer.
But the partnership never flourished and Spirit of Sharjah showed little in four runs since the move.
And so, Dee has decided to return his steed to Feilden in the hope that they can recapture some of the former glory.
"I'm having Spirit vetted to make sure he's physically alright," said 52 year-old Feilden. "He really put me on the map last year and I hope we can win some big races with him now."
