Does anyone know the name of this 1700s era horse?

I found a picture of a painting by Stubbs entitled : Lord Grosvenor's Arabian with a groom, c.1765. It is a beautiful chestnut with white - sabino (?) with some white body markings. He is reputed to have had 10 foals between 1766 and 1778. I'll try to include the picture I found in Wikipedia here.

I'm just wondering if he's in Pedigree Query. Thanks.

I remember that this horse was the subject of a thread here, whether as as part of another topic or properly about him. Perhaps it was as part of a subject about this painter. Anyway I remember that photo. Lets see if any other collaborator remembers.

Looks like he is called Grosvenor Arabian.
