A Grand National racegoer was left injured after she was hit by two stampeding racehorses which veered off course on Saturday, 15 April.

The Jockey Club said Recite a Prayer was assessed on course and walked onto the horse ambulance for further assessment in the stables.

North West Ambulance Service confirmed they were called following reports of a woman being hit by a horse and taken to hospital with lower leg injuries.
