Sir Michael Stoute will hope to bridge a 36-year gap when Nostrum, one of three unbeaten colts in a seven-strong field, goes to post for Saturday’s Group One Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
Stoute has enjoyed a long and hugely successful career on the turf but has won Britain’s most prestigious juvenile event only once, with Ajdal in 1986, and his colt Expert Eye, who arrived with a similar profile to Nostrum in 2017, finished last of nine at 4-7.
