The feature event of the day and Doris's Gift gets the nomination to land the hat-trick ahead of That Look and Creinch. The selection has been revitalized since encountering quicker ground in recent weeks and although up an aggregate of 20lb, he should have too much class for these. That Look is another fast ground specialist and returned from a break with a fine win earlier this month. He is the obvious danger to the selection while Creinch will certainly appreciate the step back up in trip having appeared to get outpaced over the extended 2miles last time. Doris's Gift is selected to extend his winning sequence.
