Mark Johnston's crack filly Attraction is unlikely to take her place in the Dubai Duty Free at Nad Al Sheba in March despite being entered in the race yesterday.

Winner of nine of her 12 starts, the speedball is set to return as a four-year-old and will be aimed towards Newbury in May, rather than the warmer climes of the Middle East in March.

After charging through her juvenile season with an unbeaten record, Attraction stepped up to a mile last May and broke new ground when becoming the first filly to land both the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas.

The daughter of Efisio suffered her first career defeat only on her ninth start when she went down to Soviet Song in the Falmouth Stakes in July, and despite a further two losses, ended the season with her reputation firmly intact with an all-the-way romp in the Sun Chariot Stakes.
