The chances of Triple Honour contesting Saturday's Epsom Handicap are increasing with exhaustive tests so far yielding no explanation for his George Main Stakes failure.
Trainer Chris Waller had the four-year-old scoped on Sunday as part of a thorough veterinary examination after Triple Honour finished sixth as the $2.50 favourite in Saturday's Group One feature won by Mentality.
Waller has also had x-rays of the gelding's joints taken but those results may take time.
"There is nothing untoward with him and we are struggling to find anything wrong," Waller said.
"The results of all the tests probably won't be known until Wednesday but at this stage there is a big chance he will run in the Epsom.
"If I didn't think he could be competitive he wouldn't run."
Final acceptances for the Epsom will be taken on Wednesday and if Triple Honour does run Waller will have to find a jockey to replace regular rider Glen Boss.
Boss, who rode Triple Honour to victory in the Doncaster Handicap, has jumped off to take the mount on lightweight hope Judged.
The Joe Pride-trained Judged forced her way into the field with victory in Saturday's Bill Ritchie Handicap and firmed to $9 with TAB Sportsbet.
Corey Brown rode Judged on Saturday but has a commitment to Musket, who is also at $9 with Triple Honour easing to $12.
Cameron Handicap winner Raheeb remains favourite at $3.50 ahead of Mentality ($7) and George Main runner-up Theseo.
The Anthony Cummings-trained Raheeb was purchased earlier this year by Nathan Tinkler as a stud prospect.
He was previously in Tim Martin's stable and destined for a career in either Dubai or Hong Kong but both sales fell through.
At his first start for Cummings he was a close second to the Martin-trained Typhoon Zed in the Concorde Stakes before his Cameron victory.
Waller also had Love And Kisses examined following her fourth to Dreamscape in the Stan Fox Stakes and has entered her in the Group One Flight Stakes on Saturday.
"She seems fine but I'm still not sure whether she will run or go to Melbourne," Waller said.
Love and Kisses was placed behind Samantha Miss in both the Silver Shadow Stakes and Furious Stakes.
Samantha Miss will start the overwhelming favourite in the 1600m Flight in her bid to become just the second horse to win the four-race Princess Series.
Her win in the Tea Rose Stakes elevated her to third favourite for the Cox Plate in which she would carry 10.5kg less than Weekend Hussler.
