McCoy predicts tough day for Mullins

It’s hard to believe three years have already flown by since AP McCoy powered Uxizandre to an emotional victory in the Ryanair Chase in his final Cheltenham Festival as a jockey.

Since calling time on his remarkable career, the 20-times champion jockey has kept himself busy, doing some work for former boss JP McManus and as an analyst for ITV Racing, for whom he will again be in action for this week.

In the build-up to this year’s extravaganza, McCoy was a star attraction on the Cheltenham preview night scene, offering his thoughts on what lies in store this week and reflecting on Festivals past.
