RACE SUMMARY:

HOOPER didn’t go on as hoped over fences but he is now down to his last winning mark returned to the smaller obstacles and can get back to winning ways. The 6-y-o has won both of his starts over hurdles here, so he can see off the challenge of Beyond The Clouds whose form has been going the right way back hurdling again. Glimpse of Gold is also respected in his bid for a 4-timer.
