McCoy hoping Synch's in time again

Tony McCoy admits he is as much in the dark as everyone else regarding how Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Synchronised will take to Aintree’s giant fences in the John Smith’s Grand National.

The 16-times champion jockey is famed for his never-say-die riding style and that was seen in full glory as he coaxed Jonjo O’Neill’s Synchronised up the famous Cheltenham hill to win last month’s blue riband.
