Trained by Kevin and Lauren Frost at Averham Park in Nottinghamshire, Symphony Of Joy is part of a yard that has found the winner's enclosure three times this season, so the operation clearly knows how to get a horse to the front. Whether Symphony Of Joy can follow suit remains the question. Looking at the recent form figures — 6, 11, 7, 4, 3, 4 — there is at least a small flicker of hope buried in there. That third-place finish, sitting in the middle of the sequence, shows the horse can get competitive when things click, and a fourth place twice over suggests it is not always trailing the field home.
The honest assessment, though, is that a horse racing six times without winning needs to find something extra. Whether that comes from a change in conditions, a drop in the quality of opposition, or simply more racing experience beginning to pay off, the Frost yard will be working out what unlocks this one. At four years old, there is still time for the penny to drop — but the clock is ticking.
