The jockey left hospital in Salisbury yesterday and headed for his Wiltshire home, accompanied by his wife Jan.

Tony Hind, Fortune's agent, said: "He had an X-ray last night and is now on his way home, but has to go back for an MRI scan on Wednesday morning, so we are not going to know anything about how bad it is, or how severe it is, until then."
