Newbury on cards for Attraction

Last year’s dual 1000 Guineas winner Attraction is set to have her next run in the stanjamesuk.com Hungerford Stakes at Newbury on Saturday week.

The Mark Johnston-trained filly has had just one start this season, finishing 11th of 13 runners in the Champions Mile in Hong Kong.

“We cannot wait forever to give her a run and the Hungerford, even with her penalty, is one of the few options we have,” the Middleham handler told The Times.

“In the longer term we are looking at the Matron Stakes and/or the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, and perhaps an autumn campaign as she will still be a fresh horse.”
