Spraying docks in the heatwave

I intended spraying docks this week in second cut. Obviously too hot this week. If next week cools a little is it too chancy when grass is so stressed?

Spray in the late evening when the heat of the day is gone.... From 7 onwards

How stressed is your grass situation and what spray were you thinking of using.
Here in Wexford grass is very stressed and I know I wouldn't chance it unless the field was absolutely riddled.

Wexford also and have rush regrowth to spray, also holding off and it might have to be grazed again!

Don't have one and would have to go 100's of miles to find one, also an overall spray will do the business on buttercups as well.
