Adagio has died after suffering a fatal heart attack on the gallops on Thursday morning.
The five-year-old Grade One-winning hurdler was due to run in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket on Saturday. It would have been his first on the Flat since joining David Pipe two years ago.
As a four-year-old Adagio won the Grade One Finale Juvenile Hurdle at Chepstow and finished second in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.
It is with enormous sadness I have to report that Adagio has suffered a fatal heart attack on the gallops this morning. His owners and everyone at Pond House are beyond heartbroken. #Adagio #FlyHigh pic.twitter.com/5lBH9FcYpJ
