Going - Good to yielding, Good in places. Fine

Formscan By Tom Weekes - LET'S DANCE will be one of the shortest priced runners of the year in this and, bar an accident, will win easily. She was a high class juvenile hurdler last season and while unsuccessful in four starts for Willie Mullins, has run cracking races behind top class rivals. She meets nothing of that standard here. Ciao Cielo is himself a useful type and while he ran well at Tramore latest, has buckets to find with the selection on overall form but might be able to take second place. Giant Spirit wasn't beaten too far in a bumper at Down Royal recently but needs to improve to trouble Ciao Cielo for second place.
