Verdict

Star of Germany has had a busy and relatively successful season but there is every indication judged by his latest effort at Market Rasen last time that David Pipe's gelding may now be a shade high in the weights, while Spiritual Society keeps finding one too good and may do so again here in Yellow Flag. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding has done everything asked of him of late, winning races at Stratford, Southwell and Bangor, and he is taken to defy a hefty 12lb rise for the latest of those successes and win again. Wild Power faces no easy task from 8lbs out of the weights proper, while at the other end of the handicap Et Maintenant has struggled off his new mark since winning at Exeter in May. Spiritual Society would not be winning out of turn were he to be successful and he has to be respected off what seems a fair mark but preference is for the in-form Yellow Flag.
