My first ever 5 timer!!! Brilliant to ride 5 different winners for 5 different trainers. Messire was fantastic once again and also great to go back to my roots with one for Rob Walford
Thank you for all the kind messages. I’ll be leaving hospital shortly. I’m battered, bruised and very sore but I’ve still got my looks! I’ll know more in the next couple of days, but safe to say, I won’t be at Fakenham tomorrow!
Absolutely gutted to lose L’Ami Serge today. He was a wonderful horse who gave me my proudest moment in the saddle winning the French Champion Hurdle. Lots of love to

It’s with true sadness that I inform all that The Listener died of heart failure at pasture over the weekend at 22yrs. A once in a lifetime horse who was never happier than with all 4 feet off the ground. Rest easy my boy, that’ll do 😞xx💔
What a brilliant horse Sceau Royal has been for the double green. So pleased for the whole team and thanks again to Alan King and his staff who’ve done a great job to get him ready to go once again.
