Thurles Thursday for War Of Attrition War Of Attrition has been given the go-ahead to take his chance in the Thurles Chase on Thursday. The nine-year-old had been out of action for almost two years prior to last month's comeback at Punchestown, where he beat another former Gold Cup winner, Kicking King, by 19 lengths. War Of Attrition swerved Saturday's Charlie Hall Chase due to the fast ground at Wetherby, but trainer Mouse Morris expects conditions to be ideal at Thurles. He said: "There have been no hiccups since Punchestown. He hasn't done an awful lot since, to be honest, and we have just been keeping him ticking over, but he seems in good form. "We decided to miss the Charlie Hall because of the fast ground, but the ground at Thurles should be absolutely perfect. "We will get this race out of the way before we talk about where he might go afterwards."
