The longer trip and first-time blinkers should bring about some improvement in Sedgefield third Hurraboru but it will be a surprise if he finds enough to get the better of NEXT EXIT. Tim Vaughan's winning pointer only found High Storm too good on his hurdling debut after a lengthy absence at Ffos Las and need only repeat that form here to get off the mark. Rhyming Sky has already been beaten in a seller so best of the rest may be On Broadway, another who has already been successful between the flags.
