Resurgent War Of Attrition has World at his feet

ON a day when veteran War Of Attrition again thrilled his legion of followers, it was Ruby Walsh and Willie Mullins who took the honours at Navan yesterday, completing a fine treble with Kerb Appeal, Uimhiraceathair and Skakervilz.

The finish of the Grade 2 Ten Up Novice Chase proved the highlight of the day as 4/6 shot Uimhiraceathair and Telenor treated onlookers to a titanic tussle from the final fence after a gruelling three miles in very testing ground.

And neither the judge nor modern technology could separate the two brave novices, a dead-heat being declared - to the relief of connections of both horses.
