The 2016 Rising Sun Gold Challenge winner Mac De Lago will have his first start for Dan Katz in the Jet Master Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday week.

The six-year-old, who carries the colours of Hassen Adams, went to take third in the Vodacom Durban July for Weiho Marwing but rather lost his way this season and last, only making the frame once when fourth of seven behind Romany Prince in the London News Stakes 13 months ago.

Katz said yesterday: “He was a very good horse but he seemed a bit disinterested in his last couple of runs and came to me about three months ago. He has had a lot of small niggles and aches and pains that we have been working though while we try to get his mind back on racing to see if we can rejuvenate his career.

“He is enjoying himself at the moment and seems a happy horse. He should be able to show us that he still wants to do it in the Jet Master. Greg Cheyne rides.”

Joey Ramsden yesterday confirmed that his Klawervlei Majorca third Rose In Bloom will run in the Vasco Prix Du Cap on the same card.

He said: “She has improved but she has been pretty consistent all season and I thought her sixth from a wide draw in the Cape Fillies Guineas was also pretty special.”

Ramsden, bidding for his sixth Prix Du Cap in the last 14 seasons, has also nominated last season’s Fillies Guineas winner Just Sensual who won this 12 months ago but disappointed in the Majorca. No decision has yet been made on whether she runs.
