A statement issued by the Injured Jockeys Fund has confirmed that JT McNamara is to be transferred to a hospital nearer to his home in Ireland.
The 37-year-old has been at a medical facility in Bristol ever since he suffered a neck injury following a fall at the recent Cheltenham Festival.
"JT McNamara remains in a stable condition at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol. He is now fully alert but requires full-time ventilation at present," read the statement.
"In due course JT will be transferred to the National Spinal Unit at The Mater Hospital, Dublin where he will be closer to his family. His wife Caroline and family very much appreciate everyone's continued good wishes and prayers on JT's behalf."
It was recently confirmed that the amateur jockey had escaped any brain damage during the incident.
