1st Place 774 - Pixiesrock Maestro Cadenza (Mrs F C Bament). Liked his head and soft expression with good pigment to eye, correct neck and well placed shoulders, found him in better coat today then 2nd, well sprung rib and strong in loin, well off for bone and muscular rear with well turned stifled which he used to propel himself around the ring.

2nd Place 792 - Next Generations Arnac Arctic Storm (Imp Usa) (Miss L & Mrs C Murch & Mayhew), lovely shape when stood as I went over him but unfortunately think he may have been stood in a dip as he lost his topline in the final stack, loved his head and clean front, good rib and well muscled all over, just lacking the coat of 1 on the day. Moved well.
