Synners Kid

The story really starts from September onwards. After three fairly anonymous efforts — finishing eighth, twelfth, and ninth in its first three races — something clicked. Synners Kid broke through for a first win at Naas on 18 September 2025, then backed it up with another victory at Bellewstown on 2 October. Two wins in the space of a fortnight is the sort of form that makes trainers sit up straight. It suggests a horse that had been learning its trade in those early races and was starting to put it all together just when it mattered.

Since that Bellewstown win, the form has dipped slightly — a sixth-place finish in the most recent run — but the horse raced just one day ago, which means it is very much in active training and part of whatever plans Lemos De Souza is putting together for the season ahead. That yard has already sent out 18 winners this season, so this is a team that clearly knows how to get horses to the track in form.

What makes Synners Kid genuinely interesting is that two-win burst in autumn. For a horse that looked moderate early on, suddenly stringing back-to-back wins together at tracks in Ireland told a different story. The question now is whether that form can be rediscovered and built upon as the horse matures through its three-year-old season. The foundation is there. The ability has already been demonstrated. It just needs to find that level again.
