HORSE POWER Kosac d’Oudairies looks a likely winner at Lingfield

KOSAC d’Oudairies can take the next step in his career when he lines up for the Free Race Replays On attheraces. com Novices’ Hurdle at Lingfield.

- By MOLLY HUNTER

The French-bred chestnut was an emphatic 11-length point-to-point winner in Ireland before joining Jamie Snowden’s yard, from which he has been trained to two bumper successes from three runs.

The most recent of those triumphs was an 12-length rout at Ffos Las in February, and now returning to action to begin hurdling he potentially looks a force to be reckoned with.

On the same card Gatineau Park can take the Weatherbys & Birdie Calendars Maiden Hurdle from Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls.

A handy point-to-pointer who won the latter of his three runs in Ireland by 10 lengths, the grey made his hurdling debut at Ffos Las last month when finishing fifth of 10 runners.
