Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Typeface

Typeface heads this competitive Bath mile on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Who Is Alice and Thai Princess, with those two representing the chief threats alongside Amarachi, who cannot be dismissed on her current form. The draw and conditions look reasonable for the selection, though the closeness of the field in the middle section of the ratings means any one of the dangers could step forward to complicate matters. Typeface is taken to hold on, but this is no foregone conclusion in a wide-open Class 6 contest. The selection is Typeface.
