McCoy’s flying visit can yield a double at Fairyhouse

TONY MCCOY makes a flying visit to Ireland this afternoon to ride at Fairyhouse and can be rewarded with a double aboard Man About Town and Far From Trouble.

The progressive Man About Town is nap material in the Fairyhouse Welcomes Campbells Beginners Chase. Tom Taaffe’s charge has been ready to run for a while, but missed two engagements because of relatively quick ground.

A useful novice hurdler, he made a promising start over fences on this track back in May. The six-year-old jumped well, before being run out of it close home and beaten three parts of a length by Khairambar.
