TOP Irish jockey Rachael Blackmore is expected to be passed fit to go for a second Grand National victory tomorrow - despite suffering a horror fall.

The only woman ever to win the big race had to be checked by medics after her tumble in yesterday's Grade 1 Juvenile Hurdle on the opening day of the three-day Aintree festival.

She was able to walk to an ambulance and sources last night said she should still be fit to ride Minella Indo for Henry De Bromhead in the big race.
