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.'

York clash with Field Of Gold possible for Delacroix
Sent off favourite for the Derby where he finished down the field, Delacroix bounced back in sensational style at Sandown, running down Prince of Wales's Stakes winner Ombudsman with a fantastic turn of foot. Field Of Gold is ante-post favourite for the York race and given he is owned by the sponsors, should he step up in trip that looks the logical place for it to happen. O'Brien told Sky Sports Racing of Delacroix: 'We were delighted with him, obviously in the Derby Ryan (Moore) felt he just got squeezed out at the top of the hill and his chance had gone then so he nursed him. 'Before the Derby he was working like a classy mile-and-a-quarter horse and Ryan had it in his head that he could even be a miler, he always felt he had a lot of pace. 'I don't know what he did the last two furlongs but I can imagine the fractions were very quick. 'We're not sure about what next, we'll see how he is first and then the lads (owners) will chat to Ryan and chat amongst themselves and then tell us where they'd like to go. 'Obviously the two big ones would be York (August 20) or Leopardstown (Irish Champion Stakes, September 13), both or one so we'll see how he is and they'll decide what they want to do then.'

John Gosden ‘not happy' in tense talk with William Buick after Ombudsman's shock Coral-Eclipse defeat
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEGENDARY trainer John Gosden was seemingly 'not happy' during a tense talk with William Buick following Ombudsman's shock Coral-Eclipse defeat. It looked for all the world that Buick was home on Godolphin's Prince Of Wales's Stakes winner. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 William Buick looked like he was doing some explaining to John Gosden in the aftermath of Ombudsman's shock Coral-Eclipse defeat 2 William Buick and Ombudsman, left, were pipped in all-time thriller by Ryan Moore and Delacroix Credit: Getty But Ryan Moore pulled off arguably the ride of his lifetime to lift Delacroix past him in the dying stages and snatch the £567,000 victory at Sandown. Iconic handler Gosden said he warned people beforehand the blockbuster Group 1 had the potential to get 'messy'. And so it proved, with front-runner Delacroix dropped to the back and some early scrimmaging meaning all plans went out the window. Gosden was as bemused as anyone afterwards - and footage of a frosty conversation he had with Buick afterwards spread online. Buick, Godolphin's No1 rider, gesticulated with his hands throughout the part of the conversation that was filmed. While it appeared Clarehaven boss Gosden was giving him somewhat of a grilling, according to the opinions of punters at least. One commented: "Wouldn't class myself as a body language expert by any means but Buick definitely looks to be defending himself there, my guess is they weren't happy with that ride on Ombudsman." Another said: "William is clearly not happy." While a third commented: "Even the two women in the background feel the tension." In fairness, Gosden was gracious in defeat when speaking to the TV cameras and conceded they had just been done by the better horse on the day. He said: "We thought Delacroix would go forward and the French horse [Sosie] would sit handy but of course it's all happened the other way round. "That happens in small fields and it didn't turn out the way we thought. "Ombudsman has run a wonderful race. We were trapped rather wide, got close to the pace and Delacroix has then come and run as down late. "It was one of those kind of races with a small field that can get messy but full marks to the winner who has gone and outstayed the lot of them." Despite his strong finish, Moore said afterwards he could easily see former Derby favourite Delacroix dropping back to a mile. But O'Brien appears happy to keep Delacroix at 1m2f - with an epic clash against the Gosdens' Field Of Gold in the Juddmonte pencilled in. The Ballydoyle boss said: "We're not sure about what next, we'll see how he is first and then the lads owners will chat to Ryan and chat amongst themselves and then tell us where they'd like to go. "Obviously the two big ones would be York (August 20) or Leopardstown (Irish Champion Stakes, September 13), both or one so we'll see how he is and they'll decide what they want to do then."
