Kerrin McEvoy will be aboard both Sepoy and Helmet.

Top Australian jockey Kerrin McEvoy will team-up with Godolphin once more when he rides both Sepoy and Helmet on Dubai World Cup night...

Sepoy will make his debut in the Godolphin blue, but run in trainer Peter Moody's name, in the Group One Golden Shaheen over six furlongs on the Tapeta surface, whilst Helmet will contest the Group Two UAE Derby over nine and a half furlongs, also on the Tapeta.

Sepoy, a four year-old colt by Elusive Quality, has won 10 of his 11 career starts, including four Group Ones, and this race could provide a mouth-watering contest between himself and outstanding mare Black Caviar, who has been rated as "50-50" to contest this race before heading to England for Royal Ascot.

Helmet, himself a winner of four pattern races including the Group One Caulfield Guineas, will also race in the Godolphin silks.
