Pair overwhelmed by messages of support

Henrietta Knight has issued a positive update on Terry Biddlecombe's condition after he suffered a stroke on Saturday. The three-times champion jumps jockey, 70, is undergoing treatment at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. Knight is pleased with how her husband has progressed over the last 24 hours. Speaking on www.henandterry.com on Tuesday, Knight said: "Everything is more upbeat today. He has had a good 24 hours and is able to manage to say a few sentences. "He is not very fluent and gets lost for words but it is a lot more encouraging and he has an excellent speech therapist. A good few swear words come out! "He will stay in hospital for a while but is overwhelmed by all the messages he has had from well wishers. Thank you all so much."
