Stars on-course for English Leger Storm The Stars, ante-post favourite for the Ladbrokes St Leger, may possibly take in two races before the Doncaster Classic following his excellent effort in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby. The William Haggas-trained colt was clear second best behind Jack Hobbs at the Curragh on Saturday to back up his third place in the Investec Derby at Epsom. The Great Voltigeur Stakes at York in August is the logical next stop for Storm The Stars, but there is a slight chance he could run before then as he is thriving with racing. "We were over the moon, he ran a tremendous race. He looked so well before the race and he's thriving," said Bruce Raymond, racing manager to owner Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum. "William says he's a horse he has to keep on top of as he doesn't do too much in his work. "He needs his racing and William has picked the right races for him. He's done very well and not let us down. "The Voltigeur is an obvious race to go for. Whether William can wait that long with him I'm not sure, but that is the plan at the moment. "Then there's the Leger, of course, but that's a long way off at the minute. "Whether we can squeeze a race in before the Voltigeur, we'll have to see. There are one or two races we could go for, but it's undecided. "The Gordon Stakes at Goodwood could be an obvious one, but we need to discuss it. This horse is certainly going the right way."
