It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these. Whipphound will pop up in this grade before long if he continues to slide down the weights and Ryedale Dancer has been thereabouts in similar company of late. JONNIE SKULL is 3lb higher than when scoring at Lingfield last month but he gets the token vote as he's scored off higher marks in the past. Artful Lady has been well beaten since November's victory at Wolverhampton and Slatey Hen finished ahead of Rightcar and Fantasy Fighter when third over 5f here last time.
