RALPH BECKETT will be on the lookout for a new jockey if he decides to give Look Here the go-ahead in the Ladbrokes St Leger on Saturday week.
The filly has been sidelined with injury since giving her trainer a first Classic success in the Juddmonte Oaks in June, but Beckett indicated she could be fit in time for the Doncaster contest on September 13.
But with regular rider Seb Sanders o
ut of action for the rest of the season after breaking a leg in a fall at Chester on Saturday, the Whitsbury handler needs a new pilot if she does line up on Town Moor.
"It is 50-50 whether Look Here will run in the Leger at this stage," said Beckett. "Hopefully, this time next week we will have a good idea of whether she will take her chance or not, so we will have to see.
"The jockey situation is something I'm working on so we'll leave it at that for the moment."
Meanwhile, Eve Johnson Houghton believes there is further improvement to come from The Cheka following his fine second in the Solario Stakes at Sandown.
The juvenile is held in high regard and made a hugely impressive start to his career with a 10-length victory in an Ascot maiden.
The son of Xaar was beaten half-a-length by Sri Putra on his first start in Group company on Saturday and his trainer is now eyeing a trip to Newmarket for the Tattersalls Timeform Million.
"We were delighted with the run and he probably just hit the front too soon," said Johnson Houghton. "He was very green and once he got to the lead he just didn't seem to know what to do but he will learn in time."
