On paper this looks fiercely competitive, with plenty holding claims and it threatens to be a cracker. LET'S DANCE is one of three for her trainer here as he looks to win the race for the sixth year in a row. She hosed up over C&D last month and merits maximum respect having been selected by the stable jockey. Kemboy was impressive when scoring at Limerick on hurdles debut and is not passed over easily. Monalee's trainer is enjoying an excellent spell and his form suggests he'll go close to landing this prize while Blood Crazed Tiger is also greatly respected on his Naas run earlier this month. Joey Sasa has done precious little wrong ahead of this step up in trip while Peace News could repair his reputation as he also tackles a new trip now. Sire Du Berlais makes his first start in this country and has the potential to be smart. 1. Let's Dance 2. Kemboy 3. Monalee
