Legal lays down the law

Bearly Legal ensured Karl Thornton's journey from Dublin to Leicester was not a wasted one when he won the Daniel Lambert Handicap Chase.

Having tracked the leaders under John Barry in the early part of the race, the 5-1 chance readily put two lengths between himself and Brody Bleu at the line.

Thornton said: "That's made our day and makes the journey worthwhile."

The Skerries-based handler had previously hit the crossbar when Colms Dream (9-4 favourite) finished second in the Sileby Novices' Handicap Chase under 7lb claimer Barry.
