Irish jockey Peter Toole is now responding to commands from doctors as he continues to recover from a horrific fall at Aintree on Grand National day.
The 22-year old Dunshaughlin jockey 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.
He was taken out of a medically-induced coma on Thursday and his boss Charlie Mann has reported further progress.
“Peter remains in a stable condition,” Mann’s latest Twitter update said.
“Positive signs he has woken enough to obey commands from doctors, remains on ventilator at present.”
