Three-time Cheltenham Festival winner Delta Work, who also finished runner-up in the 2024 Grand National, has died at the age of 12.

Following a bout of colic, the horse, who was trained by Gordon Elliot and owned by Gigginstown House Stud, died.

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.

In addition to winning five Grade One titles, Delta Work placed third in the Grand National in 2022 and placed second there the following year.

“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.
