TOMAHAWK TO STRIKE AT HEADQUARTERS TOMAHAWK, Ireland's highest rated two-year-old last season, will face six just rivals on his reappearance at The Curragh tomorrow. The Middle Park Stakes and Dewhurst Stakes runner-up, who achieved his only win when landing the first race of the season atthe same meeting last year, is Aidan O'Brien's only runner from five entries in the seven-furlong Listed Oak Lodge Sires Loughbrown Stakes. Tomahawk's rivals include the lowly -rated Jamie Osborne-trained Notanother and Abunawwas, the mount of Kieren Fallon who will be renewing his association with Kevin Prendergast, to whom he was apprenticed. Prendergast`s retained jockey Declan McDonogh is an absentee as he picked up a two-day ban at the end of last season. The reappearance of Yesterday, joint favourite for the Oaks at Epsom, is being delayed until April and instead O'Brien relies on Navan maiden winner In The Limelight in the first running of the valuable Listed Park Express Fillies Stakes. Mick Kinane arrived home from Hong Kong on Friday morning and in addition to Tomahawk and In The Limelight the defending champion's rides on the opening day of the Irish Flat season include Colussus, a full brother to Danehill Dancer and one of two Ballydoyle runners in the five-furlong two-year-old maiden. He also rides the Ted Walsh-trained Atlantic Rhapsody on whom Kinane will be attempting to repeat last year's win in the Lincolnshire.
