Synchronised linked with Lexus

JONJO O’NEILL has raised the possibility of Synchronised running in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown rather than defending his Welsh National title over Christmas.

Synchronised has been assigned 11st 6lb for the Chepstow race - the same weight he won off last year - but runs off a 5lb higher mark.

The eight-year-old is third in the weights, with weights, with Hey Big Spender [11st 7lb] and Neptune Collonges [11st 12lb] the two above him.
