Tuscan Hills
Tuscan Hills is a 4-year-old with all the makings of a reliable middle-distance campaigner, but one that has stalled dramatically over the past two years. The horse won twice early in its career — first at Thirsk in late August 2024, then impressively in a top-tier race at Pontefract in October that same year. That second win, at one of the sport's most competitive tracks, showed real class. Since then, however, Tuscan Hills has raced 22 months without another victory. It has finished second or third in two of those six most recent outings, which hints at underlying ability, but the wins have simply dried up.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse runs best over middle distances between seven furlongs and a mile, winning 1 of every 3 races at that trip. At top-level racing, it has a 25 per cent win rate (1 from 4), which is genuinely competitive, yet Tuscan Hills rarely gets into the winner's enclosure anymore. It has been ridden most often by David Egan, who has steered it to victory once in five attempts (20 per cent), and races for trainer Nigel Tinkler's Langton yard in North Yorkshire, a stable that has been highly productive this season with 37 winners to its name. All the components are there for a horse capable of winning races, but something—form, circumstance, or simple bad luck—has kept Tuscan Hills from the finish line for nearly two years despite regular competition. Still active and still racing, it remains one to watch if it can rediscover the form that made it a Class 1 winner.
