Endless Time makes her seasonal return in the G2 Lancashire Oaks over just short of a mile and a half at Haydock Park, UK, on Saturday, July 2.
The Charlie Appleby-trained filly was successful on four of her five three-year-old starts last season and ended the 2015 campaign with a comprehensive victory under James Doyle, who takes the ride again, in a 12-furlong Listed contest at Naas, Ireland, in October.
She also gained three handicap successes in 2015, including when beating subsequent dual G1 winner Simple Verse over a mile and a half at Goodwood in May.
Charlie Appleby reported: "Endless Time finished her three-year-old career on a high when winning the Listed Bluebell Stakes at Naas.
"She is a filly that has done well from three to four and she should get conditions to suit at Haydock.
"We have taken our time with her this season and are hopeful that she can perform to a high level in the second half of the season."
Endless Time, drawn five, tackles nine opponents headed by German G1 winner Nightflower, G2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes runner-up Furia Cruzada and G1 1000 Guineas fourth Fireglow.
Charlie Appleby is also represented on the same card by Penglai Pavilion (James Doyle), who runs in the heritage handicap, the Old Newton Cup, over the same distance as the Lancashire Oaks.
