Abergeldie showed enough in a couple of starts last year to suggest she'll be winning before long, but the race-fit FLASHBANG could prove too good here. She improved to finish runner-up over 7f at HQ last time and makes more appeal than stablemate Pinch Of Posh. December's Wolverhampton second Psychic's Dream may have improved since and Roger Varian's Gladys' Gal is worth keeping an eye on, but fellow newcomer Heliograph is a half-sister to Richmond Stakes winner Prolific and could prove a bigger threat.
