Tomahawk carries Murtagh’s hopes for Guineas repeat

JOHNNY MURTAGH is hoping to land a second successive victory on an Aidan O’Brien-trained runner in the Sagitta 2000 Guineas at Newmarket today.

The jockey took last year’s Classic on Rock Of Gibraltar, who just held on from better-fancied stable companion Hawk Wing.

And 12 months on Murtagh is once again on what appears to be O’Brien’s second string when he gets the leg up on Tomahawk with stable jockey Michael Kinane opting to ride ante-post favourite Hold That Tiger.
