The form does have a faint flicker of interest though. The most recent result before that alarming 19th was a fourth, and the horse came back to finish fourth again on its latest run just yesterday — so it is at least showing up near the business end on its better days. A fourth is not nothing, particularly for a young horse still learning its trade. The 19th sits awkwardly between those two performances and will be the one the team are keenest to put a line through.
The trainer is Dominic Ffrench Davis, operating out of Lambourn in Berkshire — one of the most famous racing villages in Britain, home to dozens of yards and generations of champions. Ffrench Davis has sent out 12 winners already this season, which tells you the yard knows how to get a horse ready to win. The question is simply when The Golden Snitch's turn will come. At three years old, there is plenty of time for the penny to drop — some horses take longer than others to work out what racing is actually about, and a yard with 12 winners on the board is not short of confidence.
