      Verdict

      Despot is chasing a hat-trick after landing a double at Kempton but an earlier poor effort in soft ground raises doubts about Charlie Hills' colt. Tree Of Grace is another to disappoint in testing going but REGIMENT will handle the surface and went close to catching You're Fired over track and trip last time. He gets the nod ahead of Sitting Pritty, whose recent easy win came in a maiden race over 6f. Proclamationofwar and Mfiftythreedotcom are both upped in class.
