'Brave' Many Clouds dies after Thistlecrack upset

Many Clouds, the 2015 Grand National winner, collapsed and died in the shadow of the winning post after upsetting odds-on favourite Thistlecrack in a Gold Cup warm-up at Cheltenham on Saturday. After one of his career-best performances the 10-year-old faltered and fell to the ground, in front of the packed grandstand. Screens were quickly put up around him but veterinary officers were unable to save trainer Oliver Sherwood's stable star.
Many Clouds' finest hour came at Aintree on April 15, 2015, when he produced an exhilarating exhibition of jumping to land the world's most famous steeplechase under jockey Leighton Aspell, who was on board as usual for his ill-fated last ever outing.
