WATCH: AP's McCoy's Cheltenham memories
Monday 13 March 2017 11:55, UK
Ahead of the Cheltenham Festival, legendary champion jockey Sir Tony McCoy answers question including how close he may have been to a return.
The 20-time champion jockey has embraced a new career in the media, but when Cheltenham week comes around there is no hiding the competitive juices which start flowing again.
For those seeking advice, Sir Tony discusses his thoughts and his pick for the Timico Gold Cup.
With a bank of memories to call on, he also reflects on some of his most memorable festivals and rides along the way and whether there was any chance of one last appearance after his memorable fond farewell.
With McCoy's old boss JP McManus seeing his retained rider, Barry Geraghty, injured in a fall was there ever a chance of a fairy-tale return?
The two-time Gold Cup winner doesn't quite go as to far as to say he would have been back in the saddle, but the lure of the festival means even the very best who have called it a day could have been tempted.
To hear more from AP hit play on the video at the top of the article and we will be teaming up with Great British Racing throughout the Festival for some unique interview and feature footage
