In depth
Verdict
BUCKSHAW VILLAGE, a €17,000 yearling, went for £55,000 at the Breeze-up in April so must have impressed and could be good enough to make a winning start. Edward Cornelius is a half-brother to a 5f winner while Sherdil is by Dandy Man out of a 7f winner so should have plenty of pace. Dajarus is by Holy Roman Emperor though stablemate Monica has a much speedier pedigree being a half-sister to numerous winning sprinters and out of a 5f winner. Drawdown is another who should have pace to burn being related to the smart Flying Pursuit and several other winners up to a mile.
