Connections of Sajjhaa are confident a step up in trip can help the filly rediscover her best form in the EBF "Authorized" Lyric Fillies' Stakes at York tonight.
The daughter of King's Best struck in Listed company and at Group level on the continent when trained by Michael Jarvis last year.
An excellent second to multiple Group One winner Midday on her reappearance and Godolphin debut in the Middleton Stakes on the Knavesmire was full of promise.
But she was beaten into fourth when sent off favourite for the Windsor Forest Stakes over a mile at Royal Ascot. Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford hopes the return to a mile and a quarter will see her in a better light.
He said: "The mile at Ascot was a little short for her last time so the step up in trip should suit. She ran a very good race over the same course and distance in the Middleton and we are hopeful that this race can put her back on track."
Sajjhaa's six rivals include Contredanse and Myplacelater.
