Ned Festival farewell for McCoy Ned Buntline will provide Tony McCoy with his final Cheltenham Festival mount on Friday. McCoy has plumped for the Noel Meade-trained runner in the race named in his honour, the AP McCoy Grand Annual Handicap Chase. The 19-times champion opted for Ned Buntline out of owner JP McManus' four runners, preferring him to the Jonjo O'Neill-trained pair of Eastlake and Festive Affair or Philip Hobbs' Bold Henry, who was pulled up earlier in the week.
