McCoy is edging closer to milestone

Tony McCoy moved to within eight victories of the magic 4000-winner mark over jumps when Jezki made a smooth return to the track at Down Royal.

The 18-times champion jockey was out of luck on the first of two rides at the Northern Ireland circuit, but made no mistake in the Grade Two WKD Hurdle over two miles.

His task was, however, made pretty easy as Jezki proved a most willing ally.

Jessica Harrington's five-year-old, owned by JP McManus, was a three-times Grade One scorer last season and carried on the good work here.

With no-one keen to make the running, it was left to McCoy to cautiously take the initiative aboard the 2-9 favourite.

It might not have been an ideal scenario, but Jezki jumped with typical efficiency from the outset.

But such was the soporific early pace, it was no surprise to see most of the runners tightly bunched with two flights remaining.
Flaxen Flare even jumped the penultimate hurdle in unison with McCoy's partner, but Harrington's inmate soon blunted that rival's challenge along the home straight.

The Paul Nicholls-trained Caid Du Berlais then charged into contention, but he had no match for Jezki's finishing kick and was comprehensively defeated.
