Toole remains in stable condition

The 22-year-old suffered bleeding on the right side of his brain when Classic Fly fell at the first fence during the Maghull Novices’ Chase and is currently in the Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

A CT scan taken earlier this week came back negative and he was found to have movement in his legs when briefly woken from an induced coma on Monday night.

Toole is attached to Charlie Mann’s yard in Lambourn and the trainer said on Wednesday afternoon: “There is no more news and as far as I know he is still under.

“There will be no more news until he comes out of that, but he’s stable.”

A statement from the Injured Jockeys’ Fund added: “Peter Toole remains in a critical but stable position at the Walton Centre.

“His parents have been reassured that there has been no deterioration in his condition.”
