The value angle could be TRIPLE TRADE, who was successful on his sole previous foray into veterans company at Sandown in January and his subsequent share of third in a major Cheltenham handicap was a solid effort. It's probably best to overlook his latest run and, taking that out of the equation, his claims are stronger than his anticipated position in the betting would suggest. There are dangers aplenty, headed by Guard Your Dreams, while Filanderer and Genois are also high on the shortlist.
