A MODEL of consistency and placed in the Epsom Derby, the Irish Derby and the Grand Prix de Paris, William Haggas’ Storm The Stars, 3/1, gained a thoroughly deserved victory in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes, thereby enhancing his St Leger claims.

However, it was by only half a length that he held the persistent 11/4 favourite Bondi Beach. The latter’s Ballydoyle stable-companion Giovanni Canaletto was over four lengths away in third.
