Salmon Angling For Lexus Success Beef Or Salmon, twice a winner of the Lexus Chase, is among nine horses left in the ?150,000 Grade One contest at Leopardstown on Wednesday week. The Michael Hourigan-trained nine-year-old was successful in 2002 and again last year. He was a good second to Kingscliff in the Betfair Chase at Haydock last month and is again likely to face stiff opposition this time around. The Mouse Morris-trained War Of Attrition disappointed when fifth in the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown but defeated Kicking King and Rathgar Beau on his two previous starts. Michael O´Brien´s Forget The Past won the Ascon/Rohcon Novice Chase on the same card 12 months ago and was third in the John Durkan, while the Willie Mullins-trained Hedgehunter won the Grand National at Aintree. Ted Walsh can choose from Jack High and Rince Ri, while Arthur Moore is also double-handed with Marcus De Berlais and Native Upmanship. The field is completed by Noel Meade´s Watson Lake.(C) PA Sport
