The well-backed Jumbo Rio got the better of Mourad in the Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle at Punchestown.

The Willie Mullins-trained Mourad was sent off the 11-10 favourite following his third in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Andrew McNamara produced the 5-2 winner at the right time and held on by four lengths from the fast-finishing runner-up.
