A winner of a point-to-point and bumpers, LONGHOUSE SALE remains unbeaten after making a winning debut over hurdles at Ludlow on his reappearance. Further progress looks likely on his second start after wind surgery and he’s preferred to Golden Taipan. The latter beat Buck's Bin's a couple of lengths in a maiden hurdle over track and trip last time but the runner-up re-opposes on better terms today while the remaining trio all debut over timber with En Coeur making most appeal.
