Glen Kotzen said: “She chipped a fetlock when second to Cold As Ice in last month’s Sceptre Stakes but it came out cleanly, the cartilage is good and the prognosis is fantastic. We will bring her back in the spring.”

Asstar, considered good enough to run in the Betting World Cape Flying Championship, is about to return from a break and the Winter Guineas on 3 May could be an option.

Glen Puller said: “He has been on a farm for the past month and it is doing him the world of good. We will bring him in shortly and start him off with a couple of runs up the straight.

“I might then try him over 1 400m and there is the Winter Series. But we won’t take him anywhere (like Durban) yet. He was a late foal and, if he is going to be better than he is now, it will be as a four-year-old.”
