Formscan By Mark Nunan - WAY WITH WORDS (5) raced in the colours of his breeders William and Deirdre Flood when making a promising debut at Leopardstown in March. The Poet’s Word gelding was green and ran around in the straight when second on soft to heavy ground. The winner went on to land a strong winners’ contest at the Punchestown festival, and Derek O’Connor must have been taken with Philip Dempsey’s charge who will turn out in the green and gold here. Declan Queally trains the horse who defeated the selection in the spring and introduces Tomohawk Juke. He cost buttons, but can’t be ruled out. Gordon Elliott’s Ellen Imlach is a half-sister to his 2023 Galway Plate winner Ash Tree Meadow. Rocky Alfonso split two subsequent winners when fourth on debut. Birdie Conway’s Goffs Defender sixth is fairly ordinary form, but she might obviously have improved plenty over the summer. %0A%0A%0A%0A%0A
