The 19-times champion will star at the biggest jumps meeting of the year for the final time before retirement and has an exciting book of rides, including defending champion Jezki in the Stan James Champion Hurdle and Carlingford Lough in the Betfred Gold Cup.

McCoy was last crowned top rider at the Festival in 1998, but is 10-1 with Ladbrokes to roll back the clock.
