LONGHOUSE SALE will be a very short price to extend his unbeaten record. He is giving 14lb and upwards to his rivals but continues heading in the right direction and none of these can match his form. Manor Park did win on the Flat but was too keen making his debut over timber in a Huntingdon maiden, though still makes more appeal than ex-pointer Carpool and the others.
