A Great View denied Willie Mullins another winner at Punchestown as he beat Ainsi Va La Vie in a head-bobbing finish in the fifth race of day three at the Festival.
It’s a big win for local trainer Denis Cullen and despite his defeat, Mullins still edged further clear in the Irish trainers’ championship as runner-up Ainsi Va La Vie and fourth placed Orion D’aubrelle scooped him further prize money.
Noel Meade’s De Name Escapes Me stayed on late for third.
Full result of the 6:05:
- 1st A Great View 7-1
- 2nd Ainsi Va La Vie 7-1
- 3rd De Name Escapes Me 33-1
- 4th Orion D’aubrelle 40-1
