Tony McCoy "likely" to ride Shutthefrontdoor in his final Grand National

Nineteen-time champion jockey Tony McCoy reveals that he is "very likely" to ride Shutthefrontdoor at the Grand National next month.

Tony McCoy has revealed that he is "very likely" to ride Shutthefrontdoor in his final Grand National appearance on April 11.

The 19-time champion jockey has also revealed that he will close his final season at Sandown on April 25 if he fails to clinch victory in the National at Aintree.

"I had some thoughts about Punchestown the following week, but I won't be riding there," McCoy told The Times. "If I don't win [the National], I'll go on until Sandown. It's the end of the British season and they have been good enough to name a race after me."

Shutthefrontdoor is 8/1 favourite for next month's race.
