Verdict
This looks tricky but last year's winner BOWIE has his ground again and can stage an encore, despite a 5lb higher mark. Shear Rock is a danger, however, having finally come good at Bangor last month. Dynamo is getting closer and is another to consider while Kodicil has a decent record around here and is only 3lb higher than when scoring over course and distance last year. Yesyoucan won at Fontwell last month but doesn't appeal as the type to follow up under a penalty while Earls Quarter hasn't recorded a win over hurdles since 2011.
