Refinement takes victory

Refinement benefited from a typically proficient Tony McCoy ride to spring a minor surprise in an eventful renewal of the Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa Champion Stayers' Hurdle at Punchestown.

McCoy punched the 16-1 mare into the lead after the final flight and the Jonjo O'Neill-trained runner powered away to record a two-and-a-half-length verdict over 20-1 chance Powerstation.
