Jason Maguire continues to wait on a date for his return to the saddle after injury.
The Grand National-winning jockey underwent surgery on slipped discs in April after a February spill at Musselburgh - less than a year after recovering from life-threatening injuries following a fall at Stratford on the eve of the 2014 Cheltenham Festival.
Maguire returned to riding work at the end of July and had hoped to be back around September time.
Speaking at Ludlow, he said: "I feel fine, I'm just riding out at the moment and I need to speak to Dr Jerry Hill (British Horseracing Authority chief medical adviser) and my specialist before I can go back (riding).
"I've had the operation on it, it is just a case of making sure everything is 100 per cent.
"I think that was the issue five weeks ago when I tried to get back riding, as I didn't feel I was 100 per cent."
