Andreas impresses in Cheltenham prep
Andreas will now head straight to the Cheltenham Festival after an easy success in the Ian Cooper Birthday Handicap Hurdle at Ludlow.
The Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old, who was installed as the 8-1 favourite by Coral for the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase when the entries were announced this week, was never in any danger as he cruised home by 10 lengths.
