Verdict

A visor has really perked GROVE ROAD up and given he was value for extra at Huntingdon last time, the hat-trick may well be on the cards. Pipers Cross made a sound start for her new yard at Bangor and she's a threat up in trip with cheekpieces back on, while Groom de Cotte is likely to give it another good shot.
