The Seven Barrows resident suffered defeat on his first two starts following his move across the English Channel. However, after winning at Newbury, the progressive four-year-old was then impressive at Ascot last Saturday and is now clear Triumph Hurdle favourite at best-price 7/1 (Bet365 and Victor Chandler).
Henderson has attributed the use of ear plugs as part cause for his steady improvement. The trainer said: "You'd have to like what he's done. At first he was far too keen, so we put the earplugs that he wore in France back in and now he's much more settled."
And Geraghty has no fears about Grandouet encountering quick ground at Cheltenham in March despite his both his wins at Ascot and Newbury being on rain-softened ground.
His three runs in France also came on very soft and heavy ground and the only time he has finished out of the front three in seven starts was when he was fifth at Wetherby on his British debut on good ground.
"He has plenty of pace so he would go on any ground - he is very versatile," Geraghty said. Reflecting on Saturday's performance, when he came home six lengths clear of his nearest rival, Geraghty continued: "I think he was very good. He settled beautifully - he has been keen in the past.
"He jumped very professionally and won as easy as you have ever seen him win - he could do no more than win and that is all he did.
"It was very easy for him and he is definitely going the right way. I think he has improved since he was second to Sam Winner at Cheltenham so he is definitely going the right way."
Meanwhile, Mr Moonshine looks to have guaranteed himself a run at the Cheltenham Festival after turning in a most impressive performance in the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle at Huntingdon earlier today.
Sue Smith has enjoyed just one previous success at National Hunt racing's showpiece meeting, with Mister McGoldrick's determined victory back in 2008 leaving the Bingley trainer holding back the tears.
Sent off at 16/1 having been beaten in a novice chase on his last start in November, the front-running Mr Moonshine had most of his rivals in trouble a long way from home and was heavily eased by Henry Oliver in scoring by four lengths.
"If it hadn't been for all the bad weather in the North and all the abandonments, he probably would have been novice chasing," said Smith.
"But because of all that we thought we'd run him back over hurdles and he's done it so well I think he deserves to take his chance in the Pertemps Final in Cheltenham. It wasn't the most competitive qualifier in the country, but he could do more than go and win like he has."
The seven-year-old can be backed at best-price 20/1 (Paddy Power) for the Triumph Hurdle in March. For the latest bookmakers free bets and special offers click here.
