Dec 10, 2025 Reigning Gold Cup hero Inothewayurthinkin edges toward his second appearance of the season, connections reporting him “very much on track” for a tilt at the Savills Chase at Leopardstown over the Christmas period.
Now seven, and under the care of Gavin Cromwell for owner JP McManus, he famously swept to success in the Cheltenham showpiece last term, having previously had to settle for minor honours in the John Durkan, Savills Chase and Irish Gold Cup. Come March, however, the tables well and truly turned.
It seems we may be watching a familiar path unfold, his seasonal bow yielding a fifth in the Durkan – a run Cromwell feels will have sharpened him nicely.
“He’s come out of Punchestown very well and he’s very much on track for Christmas,” the trainer said, sounding every bit the man satisfied with progress.
“He will come on from the run, and he should be happy to be stepping back up in trip again.
“His jumping has improved a lot from last season, so we’d be hoping he could go a lot closer in this race than he did last year.”
