      Verdict

      Compton Bolter has been knocking on the door of late and gets the vote ahead of Windermere, Barathea Blazer and Bangalore. Gerard Butler's Compton Bolter has had more than his share of problems but retains plenty of ability and comes here in excellent form. The son of Red Sunset was a creditable fifth in the Winter Derby and has twice run well in smart company since his return to the turf. A reproduction of his effort when a staying-on third, beaten three lengths, behind Warrsan in the Group 3 John Porter Stakes at Newbury will make him hard to beat at this level. Nrthumberland Plate hero Bangalore can go well fresh but may find this on the sharp side while the lightly raced Windermere hails from a yard whose runners have been backward and she is probably best watched on her return to action. Barathea Blazer is slowly coming to himself but has a little to find with the selection on Newbury form.
