ADORING was impressive enough on debut and with natural improvement to come she looks likely to beat her female opponents in this, while Victoria Sponge and Pyrrha are respected. The selection was too good for six opponents in a maiden over 7f on the Rowley course and should continue to be at home on a sound surface. William Haggas has given her plenty of time since that success and pitches her in against her own sex as she begins her handicapping career. She should have more to come and can show that today. Victoria Sponge has plenty more experience and has already enjoyed three wins, twice over this trip and on decent ground. Eased 2lbs since her last run, she should not be far away. Pyrrha is probably yet to show us her best, but she keeps producing the sort of run that suggests her next win is not far away, with her latest effort over course and distance a case in point. However, a 2lb rise won't help her. Volochkova is 4lbs above when winning at Wolverhampton last time over this trip, but has yet to show much sparkle on turf, while Shaws Diamond is raised just 2lbs for a York win at the trip and is entitled to have her say. Even so, Adoring has her best days ahead of her and can go in again.
