Very Special will attempt to maintain her fine record at Meydan on Thursday when she has her first start for 202 days.
Saeed bin Suroor's mare is a dual Group Two winner at the track and bids for another significant prize in the Cape Verdi over a mile.
The five-year-old daughter of Lope De Vega was last seen finishing second in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket in July, having previously finished sixth in the Dubai Turf.
Bin Suroor said: "Very Special is a very tough mare. She won twice out in Dubai last year before running well at Group One level, including at Newmarket on her latest start.
"She has been working nicely and I am looking for another good effort from her."
Very Special takes on nine rivals, three of whom - Opal Tiara, Realtra and Muffri'Ha - are also trained in England.
The latter is particularly interesting as she bids for a fourth win on the bounce for trainer William Haggas.
Bin Suroor and Godolphin are also represented in the other Group Two on the card - the nine-furlong Al Rashidiya - by Promising Run.
Her trainer told www.godolphin.com: "Promising Run tries really hard in her races. She had done well out here and I have been very pleased with her condition.
"Dropping back to nine furlongs will not be a problem and I hope she can run well."
