CAN SYNCHRONISED CREATE MAGIC BY WINNING THE DOUBLE?

Synchronised is on course to do the double, but can he produce that rare headline?


After winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month, Jonjo O'Neill's horse could become the first horse in 78 years to grab Britain's two biggest steeplechasing titles in the same season.


The only horse to ever achieve both titles in the same season was Golden Miller in 1934.


Tony McCoy rode Synchronised to victory at 8-1 ahead of The Giant Bolster (50-1) and 7-4 favourite Long Run.


Synchronised could do it. If Tony was riding then maybe the horse could be his second Grand National victory. I can imagine that now that McCoy has broken his Aintree curse, winners will keep on coming for him. 


He'll be like a London bus - you wait all day for one then many will come at once.


If the horse can keep hold of his stamina like he did in the Gold Cup then he'll be in for a shot. He is capable and could rattle up headlines with the double.
