Grand National-winning jockey Ryan Mania hopes to leave hospital after a precautionary MRI scan following his heavy fall at Hexham.
The 23-year-old rider was airlifted to hospital on Sunday after his mount Stagecoach Jasper came down early on the final circuit of the St John Lee Handicap Hurdle.
He received what appeared to be a kick between his shoulder blades in the fall, which came less than 24 hours after he rode to victory on Auroras Encore at Aintree.
Mania, who was treated at the track for 25 minutes before being attached to a spinal board and flown to Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary, tweeted from his hospital bed on Sunday.
He wrote: "Thanks so much for all the messages. I'm grand. Staying in hospital to get another scan tomorrow then should be home. #highsandlows."
Mania was attended to on the track and then taken to hospital The MRI scan will provide doctors with a detailed image of the inside of Mania's body, allowing them to see any injuries to his bones, joints or internal organs.
A spokesman for the Great North Air Ambulance confirmed the jockey received "severe/serious" back and neck injuries but said he was in a stable condition by the time he arrived at hospital.
James Armstrong, clerk of the course at Hexham, said he had been conscious and talking after the fall.
Mania's Grand National victory marked a dramatic turnaround in his career, which was temporarily halted when he spent six months out of racing and working in the hunt service after his former boss Howard Johnson lost his training licence.
He became the first Scottish-born winning rider of the world-famous steeplechase since 1896, when David Campbell won on The Soarer.
