Margot Steyn, daughter of Cape Town trainer Piet Steyn and niece of Andries, has her first runners at Kenilworth tomorrow. She is the third generation of her family to train.

Ms Steyn, 28, was previously assistant to her father and then Yogas Govender and Michael Miller. She has a string of 13 at her yard in the old barns at Milnerton and her main patrons are Spencer Cook and Tutti Hansen.

She said yesterday: “Little Star will run a good race if she reproduces what she does at home while Heartburn (also race one) is more of a staying type. Madiba Shuffle (race four) looks as if he might enjoy the ground.”
