At Ascot, my eyes are drawn to TIS MARVELLOUS in the Betfred Heritage Handicap (1.45pm).
Though the five-year-old gelding hasnt got his head in front since August last year, there are a number of reasons to suggest this race is the perfect chance to change that.

He is entitled to plenty of respect, but he might find it difficult giving 8lbs to STYLEHUNTER.
