The reigning champion jockey snapped a tendon in his thumb earlier this year and had to have a pin inserted.
He is booked to ride the Vaughan Marshall-trained Hill Fifty Four in the July and said on Sunday, “The thumb is still pretty sore and I will stretch it this week and assess whether I can handle the pain or not.
I would like to ride in the July, but if I feel that I won’t be able to do a proper job I won’t ride.”
