The 11-year-old, who carried Warner’s yellow and black colours to victory in the 2003 Champion Hurdle, is believed to have suffered a heart attack when cantering at trainer Philip Hobbs’ gallops at Minehead.

The gelding was being prepared to run in the Stan James Christmas Hurdle at Sandown on St Stephen's Day.
