McCoy hails Last chance

Champion jockey Tony McCoy expects Last Instalment to be in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup shake-up following his Irish Hennessy win.

McCoy did not have a ride in the Grade One heat but was very impressed was the performance of Last Instalment, who ran out an eight-and-a-half-length winner for trainer Philip Fenton and jockey Brian O’Connell.

“The Festival is getting very close with only four weeks to go and most of the Cheltenham horses will now have had their last runs,” said McCoy on his Cheltenham racecourse blog.
