The world’s tallest jockey, Jack Andrews, makes his Cheltenham Festival debut on Thursday – all 6ft 4in of him.
The 24-year-old is over a foot taller than the average rider and faces a constant battle to stay at the correct weight.
Already tipped as a long shot, he will be easy to spot in the parade ring before the Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Chase. And his horse, Anightinlambourn, stands a decent chance in the race – even with its lanky rider.
