Gina Andrews was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital for further assessment following a crunching fall from Haafapiece in the Catesby Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham

Pam Sly’s seven-year-old still held every chance and was just about in front when coming down at the final flight.

“She is conscious and has now been transported to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. Further information will be provided by the hospital or parties nominated on her behalf.

“The racecourse team would like to express our best wishes to Gina and our thoughts are with her and her family.”
