What are my chances at Davidson ED?

My D2 is there now and had virtually identical test stats and a similar hook, but a higher GPA and class rank.
You MAY have a great shot at some merit money there (in theory, ED is evaluated no differently than RD, but I suspect you have a better shot at this RD if they don’t think they have you locked in). It’s hard for me to evaluate because I’m not familiar with your school, but, of course, the admissions office will be. You might want to get some idea of how they view your school. We found them to be pretty forthright.
Regardless, see if your school counselor can nominate you for the Belk Scholar program (form is on the website). Even if you don’t get the scholarship, being nominated may get your application a little extra early attention.
By the way, I didn’t think you meant “hiding” as anything nefarious; you are merely choosing to report only those scores you’re required to report. Mattmom is correct, however, that all your SAT scores get reported, but i would expect the math score will be ignored in favor of a better score when you take the higher level math SAT II. She is also absolutely right about respect for the Honor Code; it is taken VERY seriously there.
Good luck! (Great work by the way).
