Verdict

HOOPER shaped really well when failing only narrowly to make a winning start over hurdles at Market Rasen so is taken to go one better here. Both Found On and Wargrave showed plenty on their respective hurdling bows too though so should ensure Nicky Henderson's 4-y-o doesn't have things all his own way in an intriguing maiden hurdle.

  1. HOOPER
