It's easy for well-backed Legal Spin at Killarney
Legal Spin and Leigh Roche are clear

As the betting suggested Legal Spin was the one to be with for the Corcorans Furniture & Carpets Maiden and the Lawman gelding lived up to expectations in race two at Killarney.
Leigh Roche just had to keep the Cork second placer on an even keel and Willie Mullins’ three-year-old did the rest as he bounded away in the final furlong to slam High Mounte by six and a half lengths.
Legal Spin was eventually returned at odds of 8/13 and Roche reflected: "He was still a bit green around the bends but it worked out an easier race than it looked on paper and I'd say the second horse wasn't as straightforward as you'd think.
"My lad jumped and travelled away well but it was a stop-start race and he had to be good to keep me in a position I wanted to be in.
"He did it well and quickened up nicely to the line."
