FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HE'S MY HERO hasn't run for 352 days but may have been kept in cold storage and could be useful. A half-brother to a Grade 2 winner, he was second on point-to-point debut last April when making the winner (subsequently sold for 400,000 pounds) work hard, with the third horse winning a bumper subsequently. Barry O'Neill is a positive booking and connections have seemingly opted to preserve his novice hurdle status for next season. Find A Fortune was a 47,000 pounds purchase following his point-to-point debut for Eoghan O'Grady. That form has worked out well and he too should run well on racecourse debut. Castlebawn North, a half-brother to a Paddy Power Chase winner, weakened tamely in a smart Leopardstown bumper but returns from a break and could improve if settling better. Talk In The Park ran well behind an easy winner on debut and will be fine on testing ground while Cato's Revenge and Great Universe have form but need to improve.
