War Of Attrition - cut for the Arkle.

By

Irish raider War Of Attrition is 5-2 from 3-1 with totesport for the Arkle Chase at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

Spokesman Damian Walker said: "War Of Attrition is seen as a banker by many punters and was easily the backed Cheltenham horse with totesport today.

"The Irish hand seems to get stronger by the day and with the extra four races this year they could easily eclipse their 1996 tally of seven winners."
