Legal Spin hasn't won since July 2018 and though running reasonably well has it all to do against stable companion MT LEINSTER. A winner over this trip at the Galway Festival, he made all and scored with plenty in hand at Listowel last month and is 11lb clear on official ratings of Run For Oscar. The later is lightly raced and looks a promising stayer in the making having won a bumper and a 1m6f maiden at Killarney. He looks the logical danger with recent chase winner Yaha Fizz possibly best of the remainder.
