Sans Frontieres is set to make his first appearance of the Flat season in the Yorkshire Cup in May.
Connections have earmarked York’s Group Two contest over a mile and three-quarters (2800m) for the five-year-old, who completed a hat-trick of important victories in 2010.
The Jeremy Noseda-trained son of Galileo won the Princess of Wales’s Stakes, the Geoffrey Freer Stakes and the Irish Field St Leger.
He was being prepared for a crack at the Melbourne Cup in early November but was ruled out of a trip to Australia after suffering a muscle-related illness.
“He’s in good shape and he’s on schedule to reappear at York in the Yorkshire Cup,” Barry Simpson, racing manager to owner Sir Robert Ogden, said.
“That’s the first race of the season that’s open to him.”
