Racing Post Spotlight
Got up late to win a C&D handicap last month, his second course win; only midfield at Thirsk last week and minor money perhaps his best hope.

From the connections
“We had the perfect trip, a good draw and a nice position. Persuasion went well throughout the race and toughed it out all the way to the line. He's been a consistent horse in defeat and he'd won off this mark at Haydock last year and we were fairly hopeful - Callum Rodriguez, jockey.”
