Another career highlight came in July 2015, when he landed a 4,799-1 four-timer at York on Saturday, headed by the John Smith’s Cup on 14/1 shot Master Carpenter, trained by Rod Millman. His wins came for three different trainers with Millman following the lead of David O’Meara and Keith Dalgleish in securing Phillip’s services.

On June 22, 2016 he celebrated his birthday in style by riding a notable double for trainer Keith Dalgleish to win both the Carlisle Bell and the Cumberland Plate with 25-1 shot Edgar Balthazar and 5-1 chance Sindarban respectively.

On August 25, 2018, Phillip broke a bone in his neck and sustained fractures to his back, ribs and ankle in a horror fall from Eyecatcher in the final furlong at Redcar. His recovery was slow and painful. He’d already broken his back a few years previously but this was a much more serious injury. It ultimately led to him announcing his retirement from the saddle in March 2019.

However, he then stepped immediately into training, having been granted his Flat trainer’s licence that same month, based at Well Close Farm in Easingwold, North Yorkshire. Nor did it take him long to get off the mark, winning with just his ninth runner when Galloway Hills won a six-furlong handicap at Redcar on April 22, 2019, ridden by Sam James.
