Race preview

Persuasion is likely to prove popular after his two-and-a-half-length success at Thirsk last week and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the six-year-old. Nevertheless, CANOODLED created a deeper impression when triumphant at Newmarket last month, with Ed Walker's mare fancied to overcome a 7lb rise in the ratings. Street Kid ran one of his better races when runner-up at Sandown in early August and may have a say in the finish too.
