will step up the recovery from his latest collarbone injury by riding out later this week.
Jacob, who joined an elite list of jockeys to have ridden 1,000 winners recently, has already announced this will be his final season in the saddle.
Having missed several months when needing surgery on a broken collarbone sustained in March, he returned to action to register his milestone victory last month only to suffer a freak injury a few days later.
He was in Ireland at Henry de Bromhead’s yard when the incident happened during a schooling session in early November.
“The recovery is going great. I’m riding out this week, I’ll probably go to Harry Derham’s in the middle of the week and go from there,” said Jacob.
“I’m hoping to further the rehab this week and we’re all happy with it.
“We’ll just see how it feels when I ride out, but I’m meeting the targets and I’m hopeful it won’t be too long before I can get back to it.
“Everything is going according to plan.”
