A TOI PHIL made a very satisfactory debut at Auteuil in March when chasing home Bosseur, who was subsequently placed at Grade 1 level. He's joined the champion trainer and, with progress guaranteed, should make a successful start. Lets High Five It might have won by now but for costly mistakes and should do better this campaign, though it's Sizing Alberta who looks the main threat after an excellent run behind the useful Jetsteam Jack over the track and trip last month when the remainder were in another parish. Robert Tyner does very well with former point-to-pointers though On De Ball took 11 starts to lose his maiden tag. Presentingoscar was well beaten over timber in June but was an impressive bumper winner at Thurles last month, though a penalty won't aid his cause.
