The six-year-old is a sole runner on the card for trainer Jamie Snowden, who has saddled 16 winners from 38 runners at the North Yorkshire circuit, equating to a very healthy strike-rate of 42 per cent.

Kosac d’Oudairies, a £90,000 recruit from the Irish point-to-point field, shaped with promise on his first two bumper starts before making it third time lucky with a 12-length success at Ffos Las 11 months ago.

He picked up where he left off when making a successful hurdling debut at Lingfield in November and was certainly not disgraced behind the high-class Mydaddypaddy on his next start at Haydock.

Dropping back down in class for the Go Racing In Yorkshire Season Ticket Novices' Hurdle, Kosac d’Oudairies is difficult to oppose.
