Dream over for War

MOUSE Morris has ruled out a crack at the John Smith’s Grand National with War Of Attrition.

The Tipperary trainer was thoroughly dissatisfied with his the 11-year-old’s allotted weight of 11st 1lb in the Aintree feature and he will now skip the April 10 contest.

The 11-year-old, winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2006, is set to retire at the end of the year despite undergoing a renaissance over hurdles this term.
