 The 23-year-old - who steered Auroras Encore to a famous 66-1 success at Aintree on Saturday - fell in the 15:10 St John Lee Handicap Hurdle.

Mania was again riding for National-winning trainer Sue Smith on Stagecoach Jasper when he fell on the final lap.

He was treated by medics from the course for over half an hour before leaving the track.
