Racing:Champion jockey Tony McCoy looks set to partner Jonjo O'Neill's Can't Buy Time as he chases an elusive first success in the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree.
McCoy’s boss, leading owner JP McManus, has four entries for the world’s most famous race in King Johns Castle, Don’t Push It, Arbor Supreme and Can’t Buy Time.
The Willie Mullins-trained Arbor Supreme is the shortest of the quartet in the betting but at this stage, he is set to be ridden by Paul Townend.
McManus’ racing manager Frank Berry said: “Paul Townend is probably going to ride Arbor Supreme and we’re not certain yet whether AP will ride Don’t Push It or Can’t Buy Time.
“Nothing is written in stone yet, but I think Tony will ride one of Jonjo’s (O’Neill) horses.
“It is a while away yet so nothing is certain but at this stage, it’s more than likely Tony will ride Can’t Buy Time.”
Speaking on his Facebook page, Mullins said: “Paul Townend is going to ride Arbor Supreme in the Grand National.”
