Isle Of Jura targeting September Stakes reappearance
The five-year-old is back in work but Scott will not rush a racecourse return as he prepares Isle Of Jura for a campaign in the Middle East.
Scott said: 'Isle Of Jura is great. I'm really, really happy with him. He's had a few weeks cantering now.
'We're tentatively aiming for the September Stakes at Kempton as a prep run for a Middle Eastern campaign which can start in Bahrain for the Bahrain International.
'It's a little way away at the moment, but we're pleased with the way he's coming along and we're thinking of Kempton for his return.'

Horse racing tips: ‘This race should set up perfectly for him' – Templegate's red-hot Sandown NAP
TEMPLEGATE tackles Friday's action hungry for winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. CASH (4.10 Sandown, nap). Jamie Spencer's mount can swoop late to take the Listed Gala Stakes. He was in decent form at Goodwood last time when the challenge came a little late. There are a couple of prominent racers in the field who should set it up nicely. ELSASS (3.25 Doncaster, nb) Went down in a tight finish here last time and can go one better for in-form Charlie Johnston. The handicapper has left his mark alone despite that promising effort and he has a lot more to offer with just four starts under his belt. TRUESHAN (4.45 Sandown, treble). He's nine now but looked in good form when returning with an excellent fourth in a French Group 1 last time out. It's a big drop down to Listed level from there and we know he has plenty of staying power. He won this race last year and can repeat the feat.

Almaqam plans on ice as quick ground scuppers Sandown run
Connections were keen to have a crack at Saturday's Group One feature, with the four-year-old having impressed over the course and distance when getting the better of the subsequent Prince of Wales's Stakes victor and Eclipse favourite Ombudsman in the Brigadier Gerard in late May. However, with the ground at the Esher circuit still on the quick side, trainer Ed Walker has elected to play it safe and with a line also put through next week's Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket, Almaqam will either head to Ascot on July 26 or be saved for an autumn campaign. 'It is (frustrating to miss the Eclipse), but it's out of our hands,' said Walker. 'He won't go to Newmarket next week. I guess he could possibly go for the King George, but I need to speak to the team and work out whether we go there or give him a break now and keep him fresh for the autumn. 'Everything is on hold at the moment.'
