Punjabi returns to defend title at Punchestown

The Rabobank Champion Hurdle is the feature race on day four of the Punchestown Festival in Co Kildare today.

Punjabi won the event 12 months ago and is back to defend the title this year.

However, he faces a tough challenge from horses like Quevega and Solwhit, as well as Hardy Eustace.

The Land Rover Champion Novice Hurdle will be a battle between the Mullins pair of Mikael D'Haguenet and Cousin Vinny.
