Grindleton won the racingtv.com Handicap Stakes at Leicester over 1m2f on good to soft going at a joint-favourite SP of 7/2. Ataturk finished a nose back in second, with Ricardo Phillips third. Ataturk made the running and was still in front inside the final furlong, but Grindleton, who had been in mid-pack, made steady headway from over 1f out, got his head in front briefly before being headed again, and fought back to snatch victory on the line. Ataturk hung right in the final 110 yards as the pair battled to the post.
