Looks Like Trouble (foaled 7 May 1992) is a retired Irish-bred, British-trainedThoroughbred racehorse trained byNoel Chance. A specialisedSteeplechaser, he raced between February 1997 and June 2003 and won eight of his eighteen races.
In 2000, he was well-fancied for theCheltenham Gold Cup at the odds of 9–2 and was ridden byRichard Johnson. At the tenth fence, the horse blundered badly and almost lost its chance in the race. He eventually went on to win by five lengths. In second was the futureKing George VI Chase winnerFlorida Pearl, ridden byPaul Carberry. In fourth was the previous year's Gold Cup winner,See More Business, ridden byMick Fitzgerald.
After the race was abandoned in 2001, the horse was an unsuccessful favourite for the 2002 Gold Cup.
