His mount Carlingford Lough had to be pushed to the limit after making a mistake at the penultimate fence at Leopardstown.

It was McCoy's 202nd win of the season, having ridden Sort It Out to victory in the Paddy Power Handicap Hurdle earlier in the day.
Incredibly, McCoy has been champion jockey every season since making his professional debut in 1996.
