Connections of Cheltenham Gold Cup winner have not ruled out a crack at next month's John Smith's Grand National at Aintree.
The nine-year-old powered up the Cheltenham hill to win the Betfred-sponsored feature by just over two lengths on Friday in the hands of Tony McCoy, and previously a winner of the Welsh Grand National, the Midlands Grand National and this year's Lexus Chase, Synchronised would shoulder top weight of 11st 10lb at Aintree on April 14.
Trainer Jonjo O'Neill said: "He looks OK. He's in the National but it's too early to say at the moment. I'll have to have a conversation with Frank Berry (racing manager for owner JP McManus). We will probably have more of an idea how he's come out of the race after the weekend. He's eaten up and he's looking well."
Around 100 local people were on hand to view Synchronised as he paraded around the main yard at O'Neill's Jackdaws Castle base on Saturday morning as the handler reflected on a meeting that had also seen him score with Alfie Sherrin and Sunnyhillboy earlier in the week.
He added: "If you'd talked to me last week I would have been cutting my throat because I'd had a few horses run badly during the week and I was worrying about it. It's been the sort of week you dream of and you don't think it will happen."
O'Neill rode Dawn Run to Gold Cup victory back in 1986 but Synchronised is his first winner of the blue riband as a trainer and also a first winner in the race for McManus, and O'Neill admitted the celebrations had carried on late into the night.
He said: "We were at the racecourse for quite a long time and in the weighing room for even longer! Then we went off to the Ellenborough Park Hotel where everyone was staying and we were there for a long time. I can't remember much after that but I laid down for a couple of hours, but I was still riding the race and thinking about it."
McCoy was landing his second Gold Cup with his first win having come aboard Mr Mulligan in 1997 and he hailed the determination of Synchronised.
He said: "The race is the pinnacle of our sport and it's such a difficult race to win. Since I won it last time I've been placed but I've been riding against amazing horses like Best Mate and Denman.
"He's a horse who's got an enormous heart, even though he doesn't have the stature or the presence. I realise how difficult it is (to win the race). I probably won my first at 22 and you would think it was easy, but you realise that you've got no divine right to win horse races
