Granny's Favourite (IRE) B.G.

Granny’s Favourite produced an encouraging return to action when finishing second in the four-year-old geldings’ maiden at Knockmullen House. Racing in mid-division, the son of Old Persian made eye-catching progress from sixth three out to take third at the penultimate fence. He stayed on into second on the run-in, finishing three and a half lengths behind the winner. The bay had made late progress from the rear on his debut at Bartlemy in May before falling at the final fence. He is a half-brother to Ted Hastings, a winner on the Flat, four times under National Hunt rules and once between the flags. This was a pleasing step forward and he looks a gelding capable of further progress.
