Jacob , 41 , has been at Oaksey House , the Injured Jockeys Fund’s rehabilitation centre in Lambourn where he has spent more days than he cares to remember.

Despite no background in horses, he hunted hard as a teenager with the Bree Hunt in Wexford , catching the eye of local trainer Daryl Deacon .

He was 14 , had never ridden a racehorse and said “no thanks”, but Deacon persistently asked him to come and ride out.
