Formscan - TRIPLE TRADE has taken his form to a new level this season with a string of consistent performances including a victory at Cheltenham in November. The seven-year-old finished a solid third in a valuable handicap here last time and this appears to be a fine opportunity for him to get back to winning ways. Black Gerry drops in class after being pulled up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and it would be no surprise to see him return to form. Others to consider include Cap Du Mathan and Harper's Brook.
