DOCKLANDS gained the first of 2 C&D wins this summer on soft ground and is worth a chance to atone for his lesser run in pattern company at Glorious Goodwood as he continues to look well treated on the form of his impressive Britannia success at the Royal meeting. David O'Meara has won this 3 times since 2017 so his runners need paying close attention, with Blue For You and Bopedro possibly the pick of them. Al Mubhir and Sonny Liston also make the shortlist.
