Rainbow Peak may take the step up to Pattern company in the Sky Bet York Stakes on Saturday.
Trainer Michael Jarvis will speak to owner Peter Savill before committing the lightly-raced four-year-old to the Group Two test over 10 and a half furlongs.
Rainbow Peak has won four and finished second in the other of his five starts. His latest success came in the Wolferton Handicap at Royal Ascot when he dismissed Kings Gambit by two and a quarter lengths.
"He's an intended runner at this stage. I've got to discuss the race with Peter Savill who is abroad at the moment, but we'll be in touch in the next day or so to finalise things," said Jarvis.
"He's done very well since Ascot and we're happy with him. The form of the race has stood up well but we are going up from Listed handicapping to a Group Two race so it's quite a big step up. He is an improver.
"We've got this Newmarket umbrella over us and it never rains, but hopefully they will have some rain up there. He's a horse that likes good, fast ground, but I wouldn't want it rock hard for him. York has been very fast this year."
