War Of Attrition sunk without trace

WAR OF ATTRITION, for many the banker of the meeting for the visitors, was sunk without trace in the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham yesterday.

He finished a poor seventh, going out like a pricked balloon on the down hill run to the straight.

Conor O'Dwyer kept him out of trouble throughout and War Of Atrition's jumping, in the main, was satisfactory.
