The four-year-old LET'S DANCE has competed at a high level throughout and deserved her victory in a Listed contest at Punchestown last month. Her second to Apple's Jade in a Grade 1 at Punchestown in April would be good enough for this and she has continued to make progress. Her stable companion Daisy's Gift is reverting to hurdles after a spell over fences and she's also a Listed winner over timber. She burst a blood vessel at Cork earlier this month and might just need this confidence booster. Slowmotion fell at the first on her chasing debut but is a Grade 2 winner over hurdles and has the scope to be a leading player against the Mullins' duo. Solita may do better back over fences.
