Aidan O'Brien says last year's champion juvenile Little Big Bear is only 50-50 to run in Saturday's Pertemps Network July Cup after a bruised foot forced him to miss six days.
On Monday, O'Brien said: "He's not a definite runner yet and we will probably make a decision in the middle of the week about him. He's had a little setback since his last run. He got a bruise on his foot and he didn't get to canter for six days so that's far from ideal.
"I'd say it's probably 50-50 whether he will run or not. He will be okay to run, but has he lost too much fitness? Six days without cantering is a lot."
