Leading owner Rich Ricci expects Let's Dance to make a significant impact at next month's Cheltenham Festival.
The five-year-old was fourth in the Triumph Hurdle last year but retained her novice status for this campaign and was last seen landing a Grade Two event at Leopardstown at the end of January.
Ricci told his RTE blog: "When Let's Dance won the Grade Two novice hurdle at Leopardstown last month, it opened up the possibility of her triggering a 50,000 euros bonus offered by the race sponsors should she go on to win at Cheltenham.
"I think it's brilliant, and well done to Nathaniel Lacy and Partners Solicitors. It's unusual because the 50,000 euros goes to the stable staff should Let's Dance do the business next month, so let's hope for Nathaniel Lacy and the stable staff that she can win one.
"She's in good form and is rated 147 now, so with a 7lb allowance in any of those open races like the Neptune or the Albert Bartlett, it would make her very competitive.
"The New Course at Cheltenham, on which the racing on the Thursday and Friday of the festival takes place, would suit her and so she has plenty of options.
"I would say at this stage the Dawn Run mares novice race on the Thursday of the Festival looks the most likely race for her in my view."
