JD (2 ,0) 1. JONES’ Tanellis Bloomin William, would prefer him a shade shorter in loin, but holds topline well. Attractive head, well proportioned wedge with clear mask, dark oval eye and strong underjaw. Well angulated front and rear, moved ok and has good length of stride just needs to tighten behind. 2 OFFORD’s Meddobe Inspector Morse, strongly built and preferred body length to height ratio to the winner, but is less mature in head. Head has flat skull but lacks the elements of true blunt wedge and hopes will strengthen in muzzle as matures. Rather wide in chest, and not quite front angles of winner, so whilst was positive on the move behind lacked reach in front.  PGD (3.0)  1. PALLATINA’s Starvon Dark Knight With Valltineya, pleasing outline, with well laid back shoulder and balance stifle. Flat skull with well defined stop, eye of dark brown, but could be more oval. Would like to see more strength to muzzle from underjaw. Well developed chest and good length to ribs. Best mover in the class. 2. SIMPSON’s Mystarz Muzik Maestro Of Vallholme, in profile is well balanced, liked his head, which shows the correct wedge from defined stop and well developed underjaw, ears slightly wide set. Well angulated and moved ok in profile, but found him close behind and rather wide in front.  3. HACKNEY’s Starvon Bring It On   LD (3,1) 1. WILTON’s Meddobe Spice's Endeavour, attractive masking to wedge shaped head, ears well placed, prefer eyes less round, Good outline with correct proportions and is well angulated front and rear. In profile moved with reach, but coming towards was rather wide, ok behind.   2nd: 1967 HACKNEY Mr & Mrs P & C Starvon All About Me, one who has the correct strength of muzzle with good jaw. Strongly made and stands on oval feet. Has good angulation but has tendency to stand with hind legs well under body and this affect topline. Not quite as positive on the move as the winner.  OD (3, 0) 1. PALLATINA’s Ch Starvon All Eyes On Me At Valltineya, attractive in outline with good length to height. Well boned and masculine.

Adequate angulation. Moved well in profile and from behind. RCC   PGB (1, 0) 1. HACKNEY’s Mrs K Starvon Dreams Are Maid, though 2 years old found her rather immature, in head, lacked the width of skull to create true wedge, and underjaw/muzzle could be stronger. Well set ears, eyes ok for shape but could be darker. Neck and front angles are correct but lacks hind angulation. Moved ok  LB (4,1) 1.
