Michael Jarvis is looking forward to seeing Rainbow Peak tackle Pattern-race company for the first time in Friday's Sky Bet Strensall Stakes at York.
The four-year-old has won four of his five career starts and barely came off the bridle when running away with the Wolferton Handicap at Royal Ascot. He has suffered a minor injury since but his trainer is confident he is back firing on all cylinders ahead of the hardest test of the gelding's career to date.
"He had a setback just before we were going to run him at the previous meeting at York, but he's absolutely fine now and has been working well. He's in very good form. He's dropping back a furlong, but I don't envisage that being a problem," said Jarvis.
"He's obviously a progressive horse - he's been running in Listed races and is up to a Group race now, so he needs to step up again. The drying ground won't be a problem for him."
