Verdict
Lucayan Monarch should be on the premises at the death but it may be worth siding with Royal Artist now he has conditions in his favour. He bounces of fast ground and although he can sometimes meet trouble in running, he does finish with a flourish when he negotiates a clear passage. Jamestown is another who is conceivably well treated and can be added to the dangers list along with Secret Conquest, who could surprise a few with his effort.
