McCoy to enjoy better luck on Oscar’s Advance

TONY MCCOY hasn't enjoyed the best of luck journeying across the Irish Sea to ride for J P McManus so far this season, but his fortunes can take a turn for the better at Punchestown today.

McCoy is fancied to guide Christy Roche's Oscar's Advance to success in the first division of the Kildare Maiden Hurdle and provide us with a winning nap in the process.

The son of Oscar looked a possible star of the future when taking two bumpers for Mags Mullins in his four-year-old days, but clearly had problems subsequently and missed all of last year.
