News From Michael Jarvis Yard


Michael Jarvis may have been out of luck in the Classics at the weekend but he is already looking forward to Royal Ascot, where he has singled out three of his runners as his best chances.

The veteran Newmarket handler believes the highly-progressive Alainmaar in the Hardwicke Stakes, promising juvenile Elzaam and the unexposed Rainbow Peak represent his best chances of the summer showpiece meeting.

"Alainmaar in the Hardwicke, he'll probably be one of our chief hopes I think," said Jarvis.

"Possibly the two-year-old that won up at York, Elzaam, in the Coventry and possibly Rainbow Peak in the Wolferton on Friday. The step back up to 10 furlongs should really suit him.

"I'll probably have about six or seven runners over the week but they would be our best chances, certainly the ones we've got the highest hopes for.

"The best thing about this stage of the Flat season is that if you're out of luck at one big meeting you don't have to wait long for the next one to come around."
