Quddwah finished with a flourish to maintain his unbeaten record and claim the Bet With Ascot Donation Scheme Paradise Stakes at Ascot.
The Simon and Ed Crisford-trained four-year-old was making only his third start against more experienced horses, but jockey William Buick timed his charge for the line with perfection to pass Docklands inside the final 50 yards and win by a neck.
Quddwah (4-1) showed his inexperience before the one-mile race began as he fought against going into the stalls before the handlers eventually got him to settle.
He was comfortable behind the leaders with Docklands taking the early running before Maljoom moved in front with five furlongs remaining.
The leading pair powered ahead and went for home from the two-furlong marker in what appeared to be a two-horse race as Docklands squeezed in front of Maljoom, who did not have a lot of room on the inside rail.
However, Quddwah was tracking just behind and continued to improve, finding enough to get in front with post in sight to claim his third straight victory.
