Verdict
STAR OF EPSOM has recorded all four of his wins so far over course and distance and beat both The Conqueror and Forever Proud here earlier in the month. Uther Pendragon went close back on the all-weather at Southwell while the less exposed Warrior Square steps up in trip and Sunset In Paris is preferred.
