    Retiring 19-time champion jockey AP McCoy is philosophical despite being without a winner so far at his final Cheltenham Festival.

    "I didn't come here with any real short-priced horses. I have some chances and maybe one of them will win. I suppose because it's me, people are asking the question a bit more," said the 40-year-old Northern Irishman.

    "Mr Mole is probably my best chance of the day (Queen Mother Champion Chase, 15:20 GMT). He's unbeaten this season and has improved. Whether he's improved enough to compete with the likes of Sire De Grugy and Sprinter Sacre, we'll have to wait and see.

    "I did say I would try to enjoy my last Cheltenham and I am enjoying it."

    Champion trainer Paul Nicholls and jockey Sam Twiston-Davies are off the mark for this year's Cheltenham Festival as French recruit Aux Ptits Soins edged ahead in a pulsating Coral Cup.

    The five-year-old lined up for this fiercely-competitive handicap as a fascinating contender, making his first start in Britain and his first appearance since winning at Auteuil last autumn.

    The 9-1 shot looked like running out a comprehensive winner as he rounded the home turn still on the bridle, but front-running Irish raider Zabana would not go down without a fight.

    Coral Cup result: 1 Aux Ptits Soins (9-1); 2 Zabana (25-1); 3 Activial (7-2 fav); 4 Taglietelle (14-1)

    "Every game is vital. I am not looking at the league now. This is not the time. It is all about Dynamo Kiev. We have put in a lot of hard work and effort to get to this stage and now we need to focus.

    "We need to remember than Dynamo are unbeaten in their league, which shows you how well they have been playing this season."
