DOCKLANDS ran a cracker when second to subsequent Prix d'Ispahan runner-up Sardinian Warrior at Ascot on his return and this is a good opportunity for him to record his first success since the 2023 Britannia. Persica found the Lockinge at Newbury too demanding last time but he's a likeable type who should make much more of an impact back down in class. The unexposed Royal Playwright is the sole 3-y-o in the field and looks best of the others.
