Decision on Dance target to be left late

Owner Rich Ricci has reiterated a decision on which race Let's Dance contests at the Cheltenham Festival will be left until the last possible moment.

The five-year-old is entered in five events next week, but is by far the shortest price for the Trull House Stud Mares' Novices' Hurdle on Wednesday.

Let's Dance will land a 50,000 euros bonus should she supplement her win at Leopardstown last time with Festival glory, and Ricci has made it clear the prize, which will go to the staff at Willie Mullins' yard is key to the decision.

"Let's Dance is in good form and will work either this afternoon or tomorrow. I'd imagine like a lot of my entries she will remain in all of the races including the Neptune when that gets cut back tomorrow, and we'll be making a decision on her race as late as possible," he told his RTE blog.

"Of the rest Douvan is in cracking form, in really great order. Royal Caviar is well and heads for the Arkle while a few people have asked about Arbre De Vie and the four-miler: he could end up there - I think he'd definitely stay - but Willie has a couple in the race and Arbre has other options too, including the RSA."
