Channon sees Attitude fitting the bill for Nunthorpe challenge
However, the West Isley handler would prefer to pay the £40,000 required to supplement and take on the best around on the Knavesmire, feeling his in-form mare has the chance to make her mark in an open division.
Channon said: 'I would love to be able to supplement her for the Nunthorpe next week, the quick ground which we should get there and the fast pace which always comes with the Nunthorpe should suit her down to the ground.
'This year and previous years, it's so tight at the top of the five-furlong division and there is no real standout. On their day pretty much anything in the field could win the race if things go to plan.
'I'm not saying she'll win it, but even if she could go and be placed in it, it would be massive for her pedigree and she's a great mare for the team at Norman Court Stud (owners) where I'm sure she will be going at some point to be a broodmare.
'I would be really keen to give it a go, but if we don't then we do have lots of other options as well.'
Miss Attitude is a 25-1 shot with William Hill for the Nunthorpe and reflecting on her Deauville victory, Channon added: 'It was a great performance at Deauville and she did it very well.
'She's had everything in her favour in terms of the strong pace to aim at and quick ground, but Rob (Hornby) gave her a peach of a ride.
'She's arrived back and had a day back in the pens and we'll see her canter tomorrow, but she seems to have come back really well and she travelled well so all looks good to the future.'

Jm Jungle pleases in final gallop ahead of Nunthorpe
John and Sean Quinn's five-year-old has a remarkably consistent profile for a five-furlong sprinter, and won the Dash at Epsom in June. He has now progressed out of handicap company and won the Group Two King George Stakes at Goodwood, sparking dreams of a second Nunthorpe in four years for the Quinns, who won with Highfield Princess in 2022. 'He came out of Goodwood absolutely fine and he's looking well,' said John Quinn. 'He did a little piece of work this (Wednesday) morning and that will be his final piece before the Nunthorpe. We're happy with him and he's in good shape. 'We haven't seen a massive change in him at home this year but he's definitely stronger. He's an adequate work horse without being a very good one but he's sharper. 'He's a five-year-old gelding now, he's a sprinter finding his mojo and improving. All he's done for the last season and a half is improve and improve. 'We keep seeing it and he's another example that there's very little between those top handicap sprinters and the Group horses. 'We're delighted with him and looking forward to York.'
