LONGHOUSE SALE (NAP) created a good impression when following up a point-to-point victory with a smooth Market Rasen success on his first outing under Rules. He's a good-looking son of September Storm and can follow up under his penalty as he looks to house real scope for further progression. Druide Premier is the main danger on the formbook after posting a pleasing debut when third at Newton Abbot and should have more to offer for the Pipe yard. Bagan also ran well first time when fourth at Stratford but the form of that contest is rather questionable as the first four finished very close together. Nevertheless, it was a solid first attempt and he completes the shortlist.
