Nashwa will make her belated British comeback in a star-studded Virgin Bet Sun Chariot Stakes (2.40) on Saturday, and the Newmarket Group 1 could be a springboard towards Qipco British Champions Day.

Trained by John and Thady Gosden and owned by Imad Alsagar, the five-year-old has not been seen since finishing ninth in the Dubai Turf at Meydan on Dubai World Cup night in late March.

Regular partner Hollie Doyle is already assigned to ride Nashwa, who is on track to meet stablemate Inspiral for the first time. The Gosdens could also be represented by Friendly Soul and Running Lion.
