Should be fine provided ILR held for 1 year (if not married to BC) and all other requirements met.

What I can say is:

if there is a good reason for exceeding 90 days in the last 12 months on ILR, you have to explain that on ADDITIONAL INFO section. The whole thing these days is about generating money for effective functioning of public services. REM: its ur money that is on the line.

HO usually disregards absences up to 100 days in the last 12 months. The alternative is, the OP waits till 25th or 26th October to submit to be on the safe side if it works out.
