AMATEUR JOCKEY Nathan Rossiter remained in a critical condition in intensive care yesterday following his heavy fall at Fontwell on Monday. A spokeswoman at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester said: "He is still critical and will be kept sedated."

Rossiter, 22, was admitted with suspected head injuries after falling from Hever Golf Charmer in a claiming hurdle.

Hever Golf Charmer is trained by Charlie Morlock who said: "He had ridden the horse three times before and got round all right each time but he was unlucky this time, the horse caught the top of a swinging hurdle.''
