Three-time Cheltenham Festival winner Delta Work, who also finished runner-up in the 2024 Grand National, has died at the age of 12.
The horse, owned by Gigginstown House Stud and trained by Gordon Elliot, passed away following a bout of colic.
Delta Work first tasted success at Cheltenham in the 2018 Pertemps Final, before back-to-back victories in the Glenfarclas Chase in 2022 and 2023.
As well as five victories at Grade One level, Delta Work finished third in the Grand National in 2022 and second two years later.
“He was an unbelievable horse and we were very, very lucky and proud to have him and be associated with him,” said Gigginstown’s Eddie O’Leary.
“He was brilliant for Gordon and Gordon was brilliant for him. He was so versatile, so honest and so sound.”
