ACROSS THE STARS found only one too good at Nottingham last month on his racecourse debut and Sir Michael Stoute's colt can open his account in this. Daily Bulletin should also improve stepping up in trip after an introductory fourth over 7f at Ascot. Stablemates Monjeni and Lugano may finish closer having only their second starts but Cryptic disappointed over 7f here a fortnight ago. The Cape Cross colt Stadius makes most appeal of the newcomers.
