THREE-TIME Cheltenham Festival winner Vautour has died after a freak accident at Willie Mullins' yard.

"He broke a foreleg and has had to be put down," his trainer told the Racing Post on Sunday evening.

The seven-year-old was the 8-1 second favourite to add the 2017 Timico Gold Cup to his Supreme (2014), JLT (2015) and Ryanair (2016) festival successes.

The five-time Grade 1 winner was victorious on ten of his 16 career starts and only finished out of the first two once, when falling at Aintree in the Grade 1 JLT Melling Chase.
