Lulamba avenges Triumph defeat

Lulamba exacted his revenge over his Triumph Hurdle conqueror Poniros to win the final Grade 1 of the Punchestown festival, the Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle.  The pair had been separated by just a neck at Cheltenham, where Poniros pulled off a 100-1 shock for Willie Mullins, but on this occasion Nicky Henderson’s young star had four lengths to spare.
