Verdict

This is wide open but UNDEFEATABLE went down only narrowly at Down Royal last time out and can go one better now off the same mark. Endless Dawn is weighted to go close and heads the list of dangers, although Merchants Arch, James The Second and Micasso all need factoring in too. Sovereign Banter completes the shortlist.
