Toby McCain-Mitchell claiming 5lbs off a horse down in class over the trip it needs looks a perfectly good idea. Had a wind surgery in the summer. Had a run back and then ran with credit in a class 2 at Cheltenham. The jockey is worth the full 5lbs of his claim so this makes her very attractive off an effective mark of 114.

Agree he's a good lad and well worth his claim. Another who started off in the Pointing world plus he's Ginger McCain's grandson.

Yes. He's easily the best 5lb claimer around at the minute.

He was the last jockey to win on Clondaw Rigger when he won at Horseheath Point to Point
