Silvestre de Sousa is Stobart Champion Jockey for the second time.

The Brazilian is being presented with his award, which he also won in 2015 on Champions Day at Ascot after ending the season more than 40 winners ahead of the reigning champion Jim Crowley.

He's clocked up 80,000 miles in the relentless pursuit of winners this year and is promising to ease off a bit this winter.
