McCoy hopeful of quick comeback

Tony McCoy is hopeful that he can return to the saddle in time for the Hennessy meeting at Newbury in 11 days time, if not before.

The nine-times champion jockey was involved in a nasty incident at Folkestone yesterday afternoon when he got his thumb caught in the reins as he was thrown from Flying Patriarch at the start of the Daily Mail Juvenile Maiden Hurdle.
