DIMASHQ is in great form at present and is taken to continue to improve at the expense of Jenny Soba and Flora's Pride. The selection got his head in front over course and distance in July and was only narrowly beaten off a two pound lower mark at this track last time out. He obviously likes it around here and with conditions to suit once again he is difficult to oppose. Jenny Soba has not won for over a year but did run really well at Newmarket on her penultimate out outing finishing a decent second to Teeky. She was not discredited on her latest outing so she warrants respect. Flora's Pride caught the eye on her latest outing after finishing third of fifteen at Redcar. She is still winless in fourteen attempts now so should be treated with some caution. Dimashq comes into the race in great form and is difficult top oppose
