Small field that lacks a pacemaker so a modest tempo is likely. Open race with most struggling to find winning form. BODMIN BOY (2) was well below best last time here when fifth but form prior strong. This suits and well worth another chance. THE ACCELATOR (1)has been given a let-up since finishing fifth over a mile here last time. Back in trip and back in grade in recent runs. Can do much better. THE BIG FREEZE (4) is not to be underestimated despite finishing seventh latest. Strong record course and distance and looks a huge chance on best form. SHEER REWARD (5) was beaten for early dash over 1000m fresh. Extra trip a huge plus and can improve sharply. ANPHINA (6) is back in good shape and can play a role in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bodmin Boy can atone.
