Morris has Kempton scouting mission

MOUSE Morris has confirmed he is giving the Stan James King George VI Chase at Kempton serious consideration for War Of Attrition after walking the track yesterday morning.

The 2006 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner’s return from a two-year absence has to go down as a huge success having won twice and finished a creditable third in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase.

He will step back up to three miles in either the King George or Leopardstown’s Lexus Chase over the Christmas period, but Morris is keeping his options open.
