Tony McCoy is among the 10 nominees for this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

The record-breaking rider won the prize back in 2010 in the year he finally broke his Grand National hoodoo, and is once again up for top honours in the season that saw him notch his 4000th winner at Towcester earlier this month.

The 39-year-old faces some stiff competition, however, with the likes of Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, athlete Mo Farah and Sir Ben Ainslie, who secured a famous comeback victory for US outfit Oracle in sailing's America's Cup.

The public will vote for their favourite on December 15, and Murray is long odds-on to be crowned at the ceremony in Leeds.
