DELPHINIA and Invitation represent Ballydoyle with the former looking easily the best of the pair after her superb recent exploits when beaten a neck by Star Catcher in the Champion Fillies And Mares at Ascot and in the Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp when beaten the same distance by Anapurna. There's nothing with comparable form here and she should go one better. John Gosden saddles Hameem, the second highest rated in the race, but though she's won four times she's a handicapper at best and was well beaten at this level at York last time. Rasima has the advantage of having won at this level here a year ago though that was over a mile and she's never looked like winning over middle-distances but Expressionism is progressing nicely and, being a daughter of Galileo, should improve on her recent Kempton victory without troubling the selection.
