Attraction, the pride of North Yorkshire, heads to Newmarket tomorrow in a bid to extend her extraordinary winning sequence.

Unbeaten in eight career starts, this remarkable filly, trained at Middleham by Mark Johnston, aims to make it nine in the £200,000 Falmouth Stakes, a Group 1 race, sponsored by the UAE Equestrian And Racing Federation.

Last season's outstanding juvenile filly over sprint distances, Attraction ended her two-year-old career with a career-threatening injury. But she has not only made a full recovery from that major setback, but has proved herself better than ever this term over a mile.

Historic winner of the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas, Attraction followed-up in last month's Coronation Stakes, adopting her usual front-running role and making mincemeat of her rivals.

Sheriff Hutton-based Kevin Darley, her regular rider, describes her fondly as a 'freak' and tomorrow the dynamic three-year-old bids to display her freakish talents against older rivals for the first time.

On what we've seen so far, it shouldn't much matter what age her opponents are, she'll still win. Stand by to witness something special on Channel 4 television at 2.55pm.

Tomorrow's other highlight on the opening day of the July meeting is the £70,000 Cherry Hinton Stakes, in which a field of ten fillies face the starter.

Saeed Bin Suroor is double-handed with Satin Kiss and Masa, the chosen mount of Frankie Dettori, but surely the one they've all got to beat is Jewel In The Sand, an impressive winner at Royal Ascot for Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes.

The totesport Rated Handicap over six furlongs offers Two Step Kid, winner of the William Hill Trophy at York last month, an excellent chance of another lucrative payday.

But my preference is for Red Romeo, trained near Richmond in North Yorkshire by Alan Swinbank, who is currently just two winners away from chalking-up his 100th training success.

Impressive winner of his last two starts, Red Romeo goes into battle here under a 3lb penalty and with Kieren Fallon on board. A bold bid is anticipated.

Closer to home, the feature race at Pontefract is the St Giles Handicap over six furlongs, and a competitive affair.

Undeterred is fast approaching the veteran stage of his career, but David Barron's eight-year-old is still capable of winning at this level.

With a couple of decent recent efforts under his belt, Seb Sanders' mount is expected to be involved in the finish.

The Dianne Nursery over six furlongs is the first two-year-old of the handicap of the season and preference is for Mick Easterby's Southwell winner Snookered Again.

Sharp Secret, a winner on this course last month, is napped to follow-up for Lisa Jones in the King Richard 111 Fillies' Handicap.
