Verdict

Knight Of Noir has arguably shown the best form over fences and holds a chance, but the form of the yard is a bit patchy at present and it may pay to look elsewhere for the winner. Wait For Me would appear the obvious alternative after his Warwick win but he will need to jump better on a tricky track, and there might be a bit of value to be had with DUEL AT DAWN, who always threatened to make a better chaser and isn't a million miles behind on hurdles form. The cheekpieces are added today, suggesting he's ready to go at the first time of asking, and he can cause a minor surprise. Rock On Oscar has to be given respect despite the absence.
