Freire hoping Tuscan Hills can scale Classic heights

TUSCAN HILLS is set to give Raphael Freire plenty to dream about over the winter following his Listed win at Pontefract last month.

An impressive winner at the mile distance at Thirsk on debut, the son of Night Of Thunder was upped in grade for his second start and thrived in the soft ground to win the Silver Tankard Stakes by just under five lengths.

Owned by Amo Racing, he will now be allowed time to strengthen over the winter months before returning in the spring, when Freire hopes to see him contest one of the early season Classic trials.
