Connections of War Of Attrition will “hold fire” before making any running plans for the Totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup winner.

Tipperary trainer Mouse Morris is considering a tilt at the Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup on April 26 with his newly-crowned champion.

He said: “Punchestown is the obvious place to go but we’ll just hold fire on any decisions for a while.

“He lost a few kilos during the race and with the travelling but he’s actually back up to what we call his racing weight now.”

He has, however, ruled out a trip to Aintree for the Betfair Bowl with his stable star.

He added: “Aintree is a flat track and he’d be better on a stiffer track.”
