Verdict
Limelighter has only beaten one horse home in three starts since winning at Fontwell in May and PERSUER also runs in a seller for the first time. He was beaten when falling at the last at Worcester in July but blinkers are fitted here and he would have a chance on previous form. Tarseem blotted his copybook at Newton Abbot last month and Rock The House also needs to bounce back but may be the pick of the remainder.
