BELLE IMAGE is rated 6lb higher than Mutasarref but is receiving 10lb. Sheila Lavery's filly was contesting Group 1's last season with a close fifth behind Mother Earth at Deauville the highlight and can take advantage of the weight she receives from Ger Lyons' charge, who is stepping out of handicap company. San Andreas has won six times though hasn't been at his best on Turf this summer while Ace Aussie has changed stables having been disappointing since a couple of excellent runs last spring.
