Points winner Longhouse Legacy was only fifth at Plumpton on her debut under Rules. Northern Reel, another points winner, also has some improving to do but Vanilla Dancer won on her second start over track and trip. However, she was behind BACKDOORFLUSH on debut and there is no reason why Lucinda Russell’s mare, who took on Listed opposition next time, won’t confirm the form on better terms. Blue Las and Sagonige are newcomers worth a market check.
