THE progressive Cousin Kate (11/10 favourite) completed a double for trainer Denis Hogan at Cork, when taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle.

A winner of a similar contest at Limerick on St Stephen’s Day, the Liam Mulryan-owned daughter of Maxios proved far too good for her six rivals. Having tracked the leaders, the winner went on after three out and went clear to readily account for Catchabird by six lengths.
