Though a winner here in May, Troed Y Melin has reverted to type the last twice. Dindin is also out of sorts but Serjeant Painter has been in terrific form, though has shot up the weights as a consequence. Dropping back in trip, EUREU DU BOULAY (NAP) could show these a clean pair of heels as he’s starting to look very well handicapped and is ridden by a competent 7lb claimer. Joly Maker is usually thereabout and preferred to the returning Calidad of the others.
