McCoy’s mission resumes

TONY McCOY appears to have solid claims of finally securing his 3,000th winner over jumps today with four booked rides at Kempton.

The 13-times champion jockey has been left tantalisingly close on 2,998 winners since last Thursday, with the inclement weather decimating the National Hunt fixture list this week.

He had four chances at Bangor yesterday but trainer Jonjo O’Neill withdrew three of those runners due to travel problems.
