AP McCoy may ride Yes Tom in Scottish National

Stuart Crawford could call upon the services of AP McCoy to partner Yes Tom in the Coral Scottish Grand National at Ayr on Saturday.

With the Paul Nicholls-trained Sam Winner set to take his chance under top weight of 11st 12lb, just 26 of the 54 confirmed entries are in the handicap proper with 10st or above.

The champion jockey’s most obvious mount is the Jonjo O’Neill-trained Catching On, who was favourite for last month’s Midlands National at Uttoxeter but parted company with McCoy at the eighth fence.
