Ashmore View plunders another big prize for North

ASHMORE VIEW became the second northern dog to plunder a big southern prize this month when taking the J P McManus Irish Cup at Limerick Racecourse yesterday.

Ashmore View was the even money favourite to win out overnight and in his quarter-final he got the better of Marshals Music by two lengths, having a 3-1 majority when the hare went home.

He then faced Callura Hill, who surprised Pals Magic in the quarter-final and, after being level early on, pulled clear to have a length in hand at the turn.
