ANOTHER HERO was significantly well supported on debut at Worcester and didn't disappoint. That wasn't a great race but he'll have benefited from the experience and may be good enough to see off Fakenham scorer Kettlewell and Are They Your Own, who is closely matched with the latter on collateral form but didn't impress last time under a penalty. Bear Island Flint and Colin Tizzard's Buckhorn Timothy, who is closely related to a winning hurdler, look the best of the newcomers on breeding.
