Mullins strikes again as Let's Dances home

Let’s Dance justified her short price when giving Willie Mullins yet another Christmas winner in the Willis Towers Watson EBF Mares Hurdle at Leopardstown.

Ruby Walsh made all on the 1/3 shot with Slowmotion pressed the leader for most of the two-and-a-half mile trip.

Let’s Dance asserted before the final flight and went on to record a comprehensive 17-length success in the Grade 3 contest.

“She did that well. Jumped and galloped like we thought she would do. We’re pleased with her and she’s improving all the time,” said Mullins.

“I didn’t really get a chance to talk to Ruby but from what I can gather it was pretty straight-forward.

“The mares novice (at Cheltenham) is only two miles and she might go out further in trip. She may go for the mares hurdle even though she’s only a novice. She’s entered in both.

“Looking at that performance she could get three miles.”
