Trainer Charlie Hills on Friday is looking to have a winner at Thirsk on the flat, sending just one runner to the Yorkshire based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 444 mile round trip.

When we see trainers coming such a long way to just run the one horse we like to highlight it, as we believe they would not be coming all that way if it did not have a real chance.

The handler loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 21% during his career having had 86 winners from 413 runners.

Tuscan looks to have a superb chance to get off the mark in this event having been heavily backed throughout the day.

He has been seen once to date finishing a mid-field seventh in a hot maiden at Newmarket that has seen the second and fifth since win convincingly.

Big chance.
