Dual Group Two winner Grandeur all the rage for Winter Derby

Grandeur is a red-hot favourite with the sponsors after 23 horses stood their ground at the confirmation stage for the coral.co.uk Winter Derby at Lingfield on Saturday.

Jeremy Noseda’s classy five-year-old is the 5-4 market leader for the £100,000 mile-and-a-quarter Group Three, with the Roger Varian-trained Farraaj next best at 6-1.

Already a dual Group Two winner in America, Grandeur won at Listed level in Britain for a second time when beating Modernstone in the Winter Derby Trial over this course and distance last month.
