Grouse featuring in reputable attraction (5)

I believe the answer is:

bleat

'grouse' is the definition.

'in reputable attraction' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BLEAT' is hidden in the letters of 'reputable attraction'.

'featuring' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bleat that I've seen before include "Cry plaintively" , "Sound like a sheep" , "kid makes such a noise" , "Cry like a 16" , "Beef" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
