Verdict
None of these have experience of the surface but AKEED DUBAWI has the best recent form on Turf. He found only one too good at Newmarket last month and should be opening his account with a similar effort. China Creek made a promising start at Doncaster but has disappointed in a couple of subsequent starts and the same comment applies to Reminisce, a runner-up at Kempton back in May. Heroes Welcome has shown nothing so far while newcomer Georgian Firebird will be better for the experience.
