Fairyhouse Race 5 - Fairyhouse Christmas Party Maiden Hurdle
I AM LORENZO (6) made a very bright return when 5L second attempting 3922m at Clonmel on stable debut for Paul Nolan. Strips fitter and remains a top chance. PORTHILL (9) found the frame in a Fairyhouse point to point tackling 4828m then backed that up with a 1.75L third contesting a 3319m jumpers flat at Wexford. Must be a chance again. DROP A THREAT (5) resumes after 346 days. Already shown ability after a seventh over 3319m in a jumpers flat here last campaign. Anticipating a strong effort. MELBOURNE SHAMROCK (8) was fourth in a 4526m novice hurdle at Thurles making reappearance and is capable of much more second up.
