Top Of The Bill jockey Toby McCain-Mitchell speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: “It’s magic, I’m still pinching myself. I just
want to get to four o’clock now and get on with it.

“I’ve still got the tractor run and a pound or two to drop
but that fairly standard routine, nothing out of the ordinary. I just want to
get on with it.”

On his grandfather Ginger McCain: “100%. I will definitely give him a glance when I am walking
down the steps at 10 to four. It was the same walking the track towards the
water jump, you give red a glance as well because that was his resting place
but hopefully, we do him proud today and giving a good run.”

On Red Rum: “It’s been well-documented that I was have a bit of his mane
in my glove. I don’t want people thinking I’m really superstitious or anything,
it’s just tradition. He will be with me anyway and hopefully, he will bring me
a bit of luck.”
