McCoy set for midweek return

Tony McCoy is set to return to competitive action in the middle of next week.

The 19-times British champion jockey was initially sidelined for a short spell after taking a crashing fall from the Rebecca Curtis-trained Keep Presenting at Worcester on October 9, but aggravated his injuries in another fall at Exeter earlier this month.

He rode at Chepstow the following day, but decided to take a couple of weeks off to fully recuperate.
