Galway

An interesting bumper. WAY WITH WORDS has joined the McManus ranks since finishing second at Leopardstown, dividing subsequent winners. Birdie Conway, from the same family as The Mourne Rambler and whose yard won this with Affordale Fury, was an eyecatcher in the Goffs Defender Bumper in April, while Ellen Imlach is a half-sister to the yard's Galway Plate winner Ash Tree Meadow. Market support for Tomahawk Juke would be interesting when the Queallys won the bumper in which Way With Words made his debut.[Alistair Jones]
