Line View landed his fourth race around Tramore when successful in the Heinz Pollmeier Memorial Handicap Chase for James Dullea and Paul Townend.
Now an eleven-year-old Line View was always up there dictating and after being strongly pressed approaching the second last he rallied well from the last to just touch off Bellgrove by a neck.
"He is a course specialist at this stage. He is at the age and the handicap mark that it's hard to find opportunities for him," said Dullea.
"We came here hoping that the track might bring out something in him, and it did.
"Paul was brilliant on him, he jumped well all the way. He was wrong at the last but was still fast over it.
"He had every chance to fold from the last but he didn't, he stuck out his head and was brave.
"I expected him to run well but I didn't think he'd win off his mark.
"The ease in the ground probably wasn't a help either but he got there and it's fantastic.
"Every winner for a small yard like us is unbelievable. He has had a lot of injuries and wear and tear over the years, but he is still brave and shows a good appetite for it.
"He'll come back here, I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else with him now. We are in bonus territory with him. He has been a great servant to the yard."
