Verdict

Fill The Bunker can make the most of the weight that he receives from Hawk's Landing, with Supreme Catch, Dedrunknmunky and Radcliffe best of the rest. Fill The Bunker bounced back from an eight-month break to open his account over fences at Market Rasen three weeks ago, beating Neysauteur by a length-and-a-half, and as the latter has since franked the form at Exeter, the Twiston-Davies challenger should be up to defying a 7lb rise in the weights. Hawk's Landing carries a 7lb penalty for his recent victory at Carlisle, and he once again encounters cut in the ground on a right-handed stiff track, so is the main danger, with Johnny Farrelly's 10lb claim helping to ease the burden of 12st. Nothing went right for Supreme Catch last term and he is best watched here, although he does possess ability, while Dedrunknmunky can go well fresh but has plenty to find on form. Radcliffe does not appear badly treated but will come on a lot for the run, and so we take Fill The Bunker to emulate last year's winner and stablemate Naunton Brook.
