Quel Esprit is the 5-2 favourite with Coral for Sunday's Irish Hennessy Gold Cup, following the latest entry stage for the Leopardstown showpiece.
Lexus winner Synchronised is the 11-4 second favourite with
Coral, ahead of Quito De La Roque at 10-3.
"There was a significant move for Quel Esprit earlier in the week, which took him to the head of the market, but if Synchronised's participation is confirmed, the impression made by his Lexus Chase win will almost certainly ensure he regains favouritism," Coral's David Stevens explained to Bettingpro.
