Granville Again (20 June 1986 – August 2003) was an Irish-bred racehorse who competed in National Hunt races and recorded his most important win in the 1993 Champion Hurdle.
Granville Again's dam, High Board was not a Thoroughbred, being a descendant of the mare Arab Maid, whose pedigree on her mother's side was uncertain.
[3] Two years before Granville Again was foaled, High Board had produced his full brother Morley Street, who won the Champion Hurdle in 1991.
During the early part of his racing career, the gelding was owned by Godfrey Deacon and trained in County Wexford by Henry Cleary.
He competed in Novice Hurdle races, making his debut over obstacles at Chepstow Racecourse on 22 December where he finished second to the five-year-old Upton Park.
[6] In March 1991, Granville Again made his first appearance at the Cheltenham Festival and started the 2/1 favourite in a field of twenty-one for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
On 5 April, Granville Again started the 5/4 favourite for the Grade II Top Novices' Hurdle at the Grand National meeting at Aintree Racecourse.
He took the lead jumping the final hurdle and won by one and a half lengths from Gran Alba with Young Pokey (later to win the Arkle Challenge Trophy) in third place.
In November he traveled to Ireland and defeated the Paddy Mullins-trained mare Minorettes Girl by twelve lengths at odds of 4/5 before returning to England for the next two races of the series.
Starting the 1/2 favourite he was restrained by Scudamore in the early stages before overtaking the mare Winnie the Witch on the run-in and won by two lengths.
Taking the lead at the penultimate hurdle, he accelerated clear in the closing stages to win in "impressive" style from Jinxy Jack and Fidway.
The Bula Hurdle at the same course attracted an exceptionally strong field for a Grade II race and Granville Again finished second to Halkopous, ahead of Morley Street, Oh So Risky and Kribensis.
Scudamore, who had considered switching to ride the stable's other runner Valfinet until Granville Again "sparkled" in a training gallop said "He was going so well that I wondered if anything was there, then I tapped him to make sure and he was immediately on the bridle.
