Tiger Roll, who won the world famous Grand National at Aintree twice – in 2018 and 2019 – was retired from his prolific National Hunt career in March 2022. So now he is no longer delighting the crowds at racecourses in Britain and Ireland, what is the diminutive jump racing star up to?

The decision to retire Tiger Roll had been made ahead of his final race when he finished a close second, three-quarters of a length behind his stablemate Delta Work in the Glenfarclas Chase, a cross-country style contest, at the Cheltenham Festival in March 2022. While it was not the fairy tale victory that so many of his fans had hoped for, the crowd showed their deep appreciation for this special horse as he walked back in alongside his stablemate.
