Abingdon put herself in the picture for the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster with a solid performance to lift the EBF & Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes at York.
Having just the fifth start of her career, the Sir Michael Stoute-trained filly got on top in the final furlong and a half to come home by a length and a quarter from To Eternity in the hands of Andrea Atzeni.
The slowly-away Pandora made good late ground to take third place, just half a length away.
"She's going the right way. She's a typical Ballymacoll (Stud) horse. She's a big girl and is late maturing. I liked the way she did it today," said Stoute of his 13-8 favourite.
"There's no doubt she's getting better. I think she could get a little bit further.
"We'll just go home and think about it. The Park Hill at Doncaster is a possibility but we'll just wait and see.
"She's big leggy filly so she'll love tracks like here at York, Doncaster and Newbury.
"Andrea said she wasn't doing too much but when he picked her up he was pleased with the response."
