Tiger Roll will forever be remembered as a Grand National great but the dual Aintree winner has a legitimate claim to be considered the best Cheltenham Festival horse of all time, too.
No other equine competitor has achieved such varied success at the festival. He won the 2014 Triumph Hurdle as a four-year-old, added the National Hunt Chase in 2017, and has landed two of the last three runnings of this. His only defeat in the race was when he came a good second last year.
His 17-length defeat by Easysland last season has been followed by three disappointing runs and that has prompted owners Gigginstown to rule out a third Grand National bid and conclude that he s clearly not as good as he was . But is that true?

Silverlight Studios Limited applied to Ministry for the Environment to build the facilities including a film school and theatre off The Wanaka Luggate Highway.
The company is owned by production designer Ra Vincent, director Mike Wallis and film accountant Jonathan Harding - all originally from Southland.
A spokeswoman said the development would be in a large undulation in the middle of a 322 hectare site with the balance being maintained as open paddocks. The park will include four purpose built sound stages, VFX stages, workshops and unique features such as a replica portion of Central Park, New York - of one of the most used film locations in the world.
