Irish jockey Peter Toole is still fighting for his life after his fall at Aintree at the weekend.
The 22-year old Meath native suffered bleeding on the right side of his brain after Classic Fly, the 100/1 shot he was on board, fell at the first fence in the Maghull Novices’ Chase.
Toole was taken to Fazakerley Hospital, near Aintree, but was later transferred to the neighbouring Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
It is hoped he will be brought round following a CT scan.
Trainer Charlie Mann, to whom Toole is attached, said on Monday afternoon: “They need to give him a CT scan.
“They won’t wake him up until they have done the scan and if the CT is going to be late they’ll probably do it tomorrow, so there’s no change as it stands.”
