Poor hen might be a failure (2-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

no-hoper

(Other definitions for no-hoper that I've seen before include "One with little chance of success?" , "definite loser" , "One not expected to succeed" , "Lost cause" , "One unlikely to succeed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
