Nostrum impresses trainer

- CHRIS GOULDING

SIR MICHAEL STOUTE may have found a future star in Nostrum, the impressive winner of the Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket.

Stoute, normally reserved about his runners, was positively glowing with compliments after the race.

Ryan Moore only had to push out the attractive son of Kingman with hands and heels, when beating Holloway Boy by a length and a quarter, to which Stoute said: "It was very pleasing.

"I thought it was a very warm race, but he did it very nicely the first time and was entitled to come and run in a race like that.

"It is so far so good, and you could only be pleased."
