        Verdict

        Although Compton Bolter holds a couple of entries at the upcoming Cheltenham Festival, it is not hard to see why Gerard Butler has decided to delay the preparations for his jumps campaign, as the top weight holds the most solid claims for victory in this company. Blaze Of Colour, Cold Turkey and Gig Harbor are hard to split as the best of the rest. However, the first named has very solid claims on these terms; despite the fact that she is set to race from out of the handicap today. This course and distance holds no fears for the daughter of Rainbow Quest and, as she is still far less exposed than her main rivals, she looks the value call to chase home Butler¿s charge. Red Lancer, the surprise winner of the Chester Vase last May, could also be a threat if he were to recapture any of his old sparkle. However, it is worth bearing in mind that he was absolutely clobbered by the handicapper after his success on the Roodeye and his connections were left with little option but to take on some stiff opposition. Therefore, it is dangerous to read too much into his Group 3 win, as he has been mainly disappointing since. Yawmi also suffered greatly from an over exuberant initial rating and has a lot to prove after 266 days off the track. Race fitness, on the other hand, is not an issue with Compton Bolter, who has an air of been 'there and done that' today and is very hard to oppose in this company
