Tiger Roll returns home for St Patrick's Day after finishing second in last ever run at the Cheltenham Festival

Tiger Roll has returned home to Gordon Elliott's yard after his gallant second in the Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

The 12-year-old was just beaten by stablemate Delta Work, who is also owned by Michael O'Leary, to be denied his sixth Festival win in Wednesday's contest.

Elliott shared a video of the horse rolling around in a field at his Cullentra stables on Twitter, commenting: "TIGER having a roll in Cullentra this morning.Happy retirement Tiger. A legend of the sport, a horse of a lifetime. Thanks for the memories."
