Verdict

A TOI PHIL has been patiently campaigned by Gordon Elliott and has bypassed all the major festivals. His Webster Cup performance last time was highly impressive with The Tullow Tank (rated 153) trailing in a well beaten third. The manner of his victory in the Florida Pearl Novices Chase over 2m6f casts few doubts in regard to him getting this longer trip. Val De Ferbet has been improving rapidly of late and he spreadeagled a good field at Clonmel before acquitting himself well on the Flat last time. The Paparazzi Kid was pulled up in that Clonmel race which came a few days after a Wexford victory. He may prove himself better than that here today.
  1. A Toi Phil
