Few jockeys have a festive book of rides as good as JJ Slevin's and the leading jockey is most enthused by the chance of Fastorslow when the three-time Grade 1 winner takes on old nemesis Galopin Des Champs and Gold Cup champion Inothewayurthinkin in the Savills Chase.
Martin Brassil's stable star has had a storied rivalry with dual Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs, beating him in the John Durkan two years ago and also having his measure in the Punchestown Gold Cup in 2023 and 2024.
The two are set to fight it out again at Leopardstown on December 28 in a race Galopin Des Champs has dominated the last two years, while last season's Gold Cup hero Inothewayurthinkin adds a further layer to a mouthwatering clash of the best staying chasers in Ireland.
