Geraghty excited by Grandouet Barry Geraghty is excited about the future with Grandouet following his facile success at Ascot on Saturday. Nicky Henderson's French recruit was beaten on his first two appearances on British soil but recorded his second success on the bounce at the weekend. He now occupies top spot in the ante-post betting for the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham and his jockey believes the youngster is improving all the time. "He was very good and settled beautifully having been keen in the past," Geraghty told At The Races. "He jumped very professionally and won as easily as you'd ever see one win. "He's definitely going the right way and I think he's improved since he was second to Sam Winner in Cheltenham. "He has plenty of pace and would go on any ground. He's very versatile."
