Michael Stoute within touching distance of Henry Cecil’s record

Cecil recorded an astonishing 75 winners at the showpiece meeting during his fantastic training career, but it would appear just a matter of time before his great friend and rival Stoute surpasses that total after moving to the 74-winner mark on the penultimate day of this year’s fixture.
Across The Stars (7-1) was turning out just under a fortnight after disappointing in the Epsom Derby, but showed his true colours with a determined victory over front-running favourite Beacon Rock.
