War and Beef set for Lexus clash

Totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup hero War Of Attrition and race specialist Beef Or Salmon feature among an eight-strong field for the Lexus Chase at the latest confirmation stage.

The former found Michael Hourigan’s charge, three times a winner of the Lexus, just too strong when the pair last clashed at Down Royal back in November before finishing second to In Compliance over two and a half miles last time.
