for this veterans race, with every runner aged 10+.<\/p>\n<p>Can You Call was a nice winner at Cheltenham last time in another vets race but is up 7lbs for that so has more on his plate.<\/p>\n<p>While Triple Trade was also a good winner at Prestbury Park earlier this season (Nov) &#8211; however, failed to back that up off a 5lb higher mark next time.<\/p>\n<p>But the safer call looks to be <strong>JET PLANE,<\/strong> who is taken to fly home.<\/p>\n<p>This Dan Skelton runner won easily by 9 1\/2 lengths last time at Leicester and a 7lb rise doesn&#8217;t look too harsh based on how he won that day.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s also a CD winner here at Sandown &#8211; one of just two in the field with Minella Trump &#8211; so that course experience is a further plus.<\/p>\n<p><b>\ud83e\udd47JET PLANE<br \/>\n\ud83e\udd48CAN YOU CALL\u00a0<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>\ud83e\udd49TRIPLE TRADE\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h4><strong>KEY STATS

useful mare though and heads here having won five of her 11 races, but this race has been won eight times in the last nine years by horses aged between 6-8.<\/p>\n<p>Of the rest, That&#8217;ll Do Moss has to be noted too being rated just 2lbs lower than the pick and gets 2lbs too.<\/p>\n<p>She should be better for a recent fourth at Kempton, with that coming off a seven-month

Evan Williams has won two of the last six runnings, so his recent Ludlow winner Annsam is interesting (up 5lbs).<\/p>\n<p>The Honeyball yard also won this in 2020 and could have a strong hand with Credo and Gustavian, which the last-named winning well at Wincanton last time.<\/p>\n<p>That was his first run back from a wind op too and despite being hiked up 8lbs to 135, still looks fairly well treated on his older form (won off 132).<\/p>\n<p>Course winner Copperhead won this race last year when it was staged at Market Rasen and is back on the same mark (133).<\/p>\n<p>Warwick winner Nocte Volatus is shortlisted too after an impressive win at Warwick last time out (up 5lbs).<\/p>\n<p>But you feel this decent \u00a351k pot has been on the radar of the Dan Skelton yard with <strong>LE MILOS<\/strong> and he is taken to leave recent runs behind.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been poor in his three runs this season but has dropped to his last winning mark (140) and probably found 2m4f too sharp the last day at Cheltenham.<\/p>\n<p>Add in, he&#8217;s a proven course winner and also landed a few of these vets races last year &#8211; so this looks his big race of the season to
