War set for Punchestown swansong

War Of Attrition is set to sign off his career at next month's Punchestown Festival after showing up well for a long way in last week's World Hurdle at Cheltenham.

The 11-year-old was making his first visit to Prestbury Park since landing the 2006 Gold Cup but after making much of the running, he faded in the straight to finish 12th.
