Kate makes successful return to flights

CHARLIE SWAN’S Stephanie Kate made a successful return to flights when producing a fine display in the Munster Hurdle at Clonmel yesterday.

Partnered by David Casey, she jumped quite beautifully and made every yard of the running. Tofino Bay tried to close her down in the straight, but Stephanie Kate refused to wilt and was two lengths to the good at the line.

Said a delighted Swan: “The owner (Philip Reynolds) is skiing and should go there more often. The last time she won he was skiing as well.
