Time to go to War

WAR OF ATTRITION, who has hinted on more than one occasion he is potentially top class, can deliver big-time in the totesport Gold Cup at Cheltenham this afternoon.

Mouse Morris' gelding, one of only two seven-year-olds in the field, has been giving every satisfaction in his work of late and has a sporting chance in a wide-open contest.

He will strip fresh and well, having been rested since finishing four lengths second to Beef Or Salmon in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown at Christmas.
