A TOI PHIL will be a warm order after being purchased by Gigginstown following his second to Bosseur at Auteuil on heavy going in March and the winner has subsequently been placed in Grade 3 company. Presentingoscar's victory came in a Thurles bumper for which he's penalised though that was a massive improvement on an earlier run over hurdles. Silver Turtle ran well on his hurdling debut at Navan in September but very poorly when switched to a Galway bumper a month later and the remainder make little appeal.
