FormscanBy Gary Carson - Ruby Walsh sides with LET’S DANCE here and she would appear the one to beat. The French import had a good juvenile campaign last year and mixed it in the best company, finishing fourth in the Triumph Hurdle. She gained an overdue win at Sligo last May and was very good on her return to action at Punchestown last month when claiming a Listed prize. She is nicely weighted here and can complete the hat-trick. Fellow four-year-old Slowmotion has to give her rival 5lb and that looks a tough enough task. Joseph O’Brien’s charge reverts to timber after she fell at the first on her chase debut at Wexford last month. She was a Grade 2 winner last season and ran a decent race to finish second to Missy Tata on her return at Naas this campaign. She is top rated and is the obvious danger to the selection. Daisy’s Gift who won that Wexford chase fell herself next time out at Cork when well held behind stable-mate Listen Dear. She looks second string for Willie Mullins but at her best over hurdles she’s entitled to be bang there. Billy’s Hope won at Thurles last time but faces a tougher task now.
