Formscan  - PERSICA was highly tried in the Lockinge at Newbury and is much better judged on his success in the Earl Of Sefton at Newmarket on his previous start. Dropping this previous course winner back to Group 3 company looks a logical and potentially profitable move. Docklands is dependable and boasts enough solid form to suggest he can be a serious player if he handles the track, while Royal Playwright is surely better than he managed in the Dante at York and could feasibly bounce back. Geography's German form stacks up well and he needs taking seriously.
