McCoy chasing 2,000th career win.
Byline: By Keith HamerTony McCoy has a full book of seven rides at Wincanton today in his bid to ride the two winners he needs to take his career total to 2,000.
The eight-times champion will be returning from a five-day suspension handed to him for his highly-publicised handling of Deano's Beeno at Cheltenham on New Year's Eve. McCoy was alleged to have struck the enigmatic Martin Pipe-trained hurdler about 50 times before the start of the Unicoin New Homes Spa Hurdle.
It is less than 17 months since McCoy became the winning-most British jump jockey when he beat Richard Dunwoody's total of 1,699 on Mighty Montefalco at Uttoxeter on August 27, 2002.
The pick of his mounts today include Magical Bailiwick, who is on a four-timer, the hat-trick seeking Waterlaw, and Tucacas.
McCoy's mounts: Corporate Player - 12.40: Connaught Cleaning `National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Div I).
Billyvoddan - 1.15: Connaught Cleaning `National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Div II).
Waterlaw - 1.45: Connaught Tim Forster Cup Handicap Chase.
Maldoun - 2.15: connaught.plc.uk Handicap Hurdle.
Magical Bailiwick - 2.50: Connaught Cup Handicap Chase.
Tucacas - 3.25: Connaught Gas Force Novices' Chase.
Hopbine - 4.00: Connaught Partnership Handicap Hurdle.
