Two National prep runs planned for War Mouse Morris plans to get two runs into War Of Attrition ahead of the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree in April. One of those outings could come in the next couple of weeks, in either the totesport.com Masters Handicap Chase at Sandown on Saturday or nearer home in the Ladbrokes.com Boyne Hurdle at Navan on Sunday week. "It depends on the weather. He will either run at Sandown or in Navan in the Boyne Hurdle the following weekend," said the County Tipperary trainer. "He's in good fettle and I've put him in the National. I'd like to get two runs into him before Aintree. "I wouldn't mind getting a run into him over fences but there's nothing much chase-wise for him over here, so we'll have to see. "I put him in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham but I wouldn't think he'd go for that."
