In depth

Verdict

LET'S DANCE has been found a simple opportunity to lose her maiden tag. Willie Mullins' filly, runner-up to Ivanovich Gorbatov on her debut for the yard in December, has contested three Grade 1 races subsequently and has run well in all of them including when runner-up to stable companion Apple's Jade in the Champion Four-Year-Old Hurdle at Punchestown. Ciao Cielo has a penalty for his victories on the Flat but has looked a certain future winner over timber in his two runs to date while the well-connected Giant Spirit is another who should soon be paying his way though it's impossible to see anything troubling the selection.
