Five jockeys missed their rides on day three of Glorious Goodwood after their plane was forced to make an emergency landing.

The flight, from Bagby Airfield in north Yorkshire, suffered what was thought to be an engine problem.

But jockeys Rowan Scott, Callum Rodriguez, PJ McDonald, Tom Eaves and Jack Garritty were all fine.

Scott was booked on two rides at Goodwood, including Magellan Cloud for John and Sean Quinn in the first race.

Scott’s agent Niall Hannity said: “They set off from Bagby and something went wrong with the plane so they started to get a bit panicky, as you can imagine.

“The pilot, who has 25 years experience, said nothing like it had ever happened to him but they were able to get turned round and land back at Bagby, which must have been frightening.
