Some grandpas cottaging in a racy English town? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascot

'a racy english town?' is the definition.
(town with a race course)

'some grandpas cottaging in' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ASCOT' is hidden within 'grandpas cottaging in'.

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Berkshire racecourse - coast (anag)" , "Royal race meeting venue" , "course without any fences!" , "Horse-racing venue" , "Society race meeting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
