ANDAR should complete a quick double for trainer and jockey if all went to plan in the previous race. He's been second in four of six starts and was only headed close home in a handicap at Haydock two weeks ago. That form looks head and shoulders above that of his rivals, though he's unlikely to be much of a price. Windsor third Verne Castle can chase him home as Cosmopolitan Girl, though only twice out of the frame in seven runs last year, hasn't raced since December.
