Connections of veteran sprinter Borderlescott are in no rush to decide on the gelding's racing future.
Winner of the Nunthorpe Stakes in 2008 and 2009, setbacks have restricted the gallant nine-year-old to just three runs this season, the latest of those coming at York in July.
He is currently sidelined with a pelvic injury, and trainer Robin Bastiman said: "He's doing OK. The plan is to have a look at him in January, take another bone scan and then we'll make a decision as to whether we keep him in training."
The handler added: "It's entirely down to the horse - if there's even a tiny thing wrong then we will retire him as he has done his stuff.
"He's a one-off and I wish I could find another like him."
