Well constructed front. Short coupled body and rib, good bone and feet. He has enough hind angulation. Excellent topline and good tail. Excellent coat and condition.

PD (10,3a) A very good class. 1st Digweed’s Marlyford Valentino at Willokin 11 month, black, he won this good class on his outline and balance.

Well angulated hind quarters. Good bone and feet. Moves very easily. 2nd Brown’s Ramsayville Revolver 10 month, black. It was a close decision between these 2 but 1 just has a better outline at the moment. He has a lovely head and eye, excellent reach of neck and correct front. He is slightly longer cast, but this does not detract from him. Well-muscled hind quarters and good angulation. He moves very freely. His coat is correct, but he wasn’t in his best jacket. 3rd Druggan’s A Sense of Pleasure’s Get Lucky

He won this class on his excellent hind quarters and depth of 2nd thigh. He has good bone and feet all round. He moves well and has a lovely outline. He was in my final 4, but he was carrying a tad too much weight on his shoulder and this was the final decider. He a lovely boy. 2nd Douglas’ Talard Cee Three Pee Ohh Yellow. He pushed hard in this class and although a different type to 1, he has lovely outline and is very eye catching. Lovely head, with kind eye and good colour and pigment, excellent reach of neck and a good lay of shoulder and upper arm. Good spring of rib slightly longer cast than 1, but this didn’t spoil him, lovely topline that flows from his neck to tail. He has a good turn of stifle but was just lacking 2nd thigh today. He moves very freely but does not need to go too fast. He was in good condition and his coat is on its way back but was correct. 3rd Walton’s Gallybob Marmalade

ND (3) 1st Wilson’s Stelainros Westpoint Black, lovely type who is at the in between stage! He has a lovely head and eye which will develop into a lovely expression, clean reach of neck and good front. He does have a tendency to throw his head back and this just spoils him.
