St Leger Tips: Storm The Stars

St Leger Tips: Storm The Stars

Worthy winner at York and Aidan O’Brien’s trio can be opposed.

A small but elite field line up for the St Leger (3.45 Doncaster) but with Aidan O’Brien providing three of the runners there is a small angle to exploit.

The Ballydoyle trainer doesn’t have a particularly good record in the final classic of the season whichever way you cut the data.

He’s saddled two winners from 22 runners over the past ten years a 9.1% strike rate with a £15.50 level stakes loss.

Taken all his runners into account they have only beaten 53% of the rivals. Normally that would be respectable but not given the ammunition at his disposal.

Storm The Stars beat O’Brien’s Bondi Beach in the Great Voltigeur and there is no reason to expect a turnaround in form. The race was run at a solid gallop and Storm The Stars won on merit.

William Haggas’s colt finished third in the Derby, second in the Irish Derby and third in the Grand Prix de Paris. He is a high close horse and deserves a Group 1 win.
