Verdict
Beechmount Whisper completed a double when scoring over the track and trip then unseated his rider at the start at Tipperary. He should make a bold bid to get back to winning ways while Granny May is no forlorn hope despite a big weight as she won here in September and was staying on nicely on her return to action here last month. So Sensible had been in very good form without winning before a poor run at Dundalk but KNOCKMAOLE BOY caught the eye on his reappearance at Limerick. Jim Culloty's charge was having only his fifth start and only faded in the closing stages so with that under his belt he can gain his first victory. Storm Ranger is also a lightly-raced maiden who will come on for his fine run behind the in-form Birthplace at Clonmel while Talented Kid is 3lb lower than his last winning mark though hasn't been running well.
