Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 83

Forecasts

Sea The Shells (6/5), Juan De Montalban (3/1), Fabilis (9/2), Valorant (7/1), Arthur's Realm (11/1)

SEA THE SHELLS was impressive in a couple of Wolverhampton novices earlier in the year and can progress again and stretch his unbeaten record to 3 now handicapping. Goodwood novice winner Juan de Montalban appeals as the type to improve again at 3 and can give Mark Johnston's colt most to think about.
