Hi, I'm now to this forum and am looking for some advice on how to get the best value train from Nice to Valencia on or around May 20th - any advice would be much appreciated.

Hej Brian!
I had a quick look and I think there is no really good option.
You can travel within one day using regional trains only:
:arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/nice-to-barcelona[/u]
Then Barcelona dep 1903 - 2303 arr Valencia
You can purchase tickets for Nice - Marseille - Portbou online at rail.shop/sncf (you have to do it step by step); then Portbou - Barcelona at the station and Barcelona - Valencia at rail.shop/acprail/renfe or renfe.com
However this will be quite expensive as there are no special fares available for the regional trains.
It might be better to use a TGV connection, however this would rather late in Barcelona so that your only option to continue to Valencia the same day would be the night train:
Nice 1227 - 1653 Montpellier
Montpellier 1737 - 1940 Figueres
Figueres 1955 - 2048 Barcelona
Barcelona 2200 - 0119 Valencia
You can book this whole trip Nice - Barcelona at rail.shop/sncf and Barcelona - Valencia either at rail.shop/acprail/renfe or renfe.com
However, there is supposed to be a further connection running on Friday - Saturday - Sunday only from 28th April (this has not been confirmed yet: the introduction of this service depends on the opening of the new high speed line into Barcelona which has been postponed several times).
Nice 0727 - 0959 Marseille
Marseille 1012 - 1117 Nimes
Nimes 1309 - 1629 Barcelona
Barcelona 1700 - 2025 Valencia
or
Barcelona 1800 - 2055 Valencia
