Mr Fox says

Typeface (SR:63, 11/4, Wgt:9-4) is the clear SR leader in a weak Class 6 field and has been backed in sharply — a 24% market move from the opening price is the most significant market signal in the race and demands respect. The form reads 7-6433, showing progressive placed efforts in recent starts, and the tp headgear (tongue-tie plus cheekpieces) is retained from presumably those runs, suggesting connections are happy with the setup. At 9-4 he carries a reasonable weight and gets a comfortable class match (ClassMv:=), while MarkMv:+3 is a minor rise off a placed finish rather than an exposed ceiling. DistFit:~ and GoingFit:~ are not ideal but the horse has form in similar conditions and the market money has clearly identified this as the winner. Each-way alternative: Desert Charm. Main danger: Desert Charm — Desert Charm (SR:61, 5/1, Wgt:9-9) has GoingFit:+ confirmed on today's good ground and produced a win and a place in recent form (31128 rightmost = last was 8th but the prior two runs show a win and third), carrying enough ability at this level to capitalise if Typeface's market move proves premature — though the 18% drift is a concern worth watching.
