12:30 Fairyhouse - 16 December 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

POSITIVE THINKER arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to bag a third win of the season back chasing at the chief expense of Gordon Elliott's course-scorer So Des Flos. Old Soul appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
