Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised jockey AP McCoy ahead of his last race.

The 40-year old Northern Irish hoop will retire from racing after he rides Shutthefrontdoor in Saturday's Grand National at Aintree.

McCoy, who will be riding in his 20th Grand National, is a lifelong Gunners supporter.

"I wish him good luck for his last race and he will have enough time afterwards to support us," said Wenger.

"I want him to finish well and hopefully he will have no accidents, touch wood, because it's quite a dangerous race."
