Moved soundly and was merry on the move. 2nd Prydderch’s Rockllocers Soul Singer. A gold bitch of traditional type, very feminine and pleasing all through, good rib and body, lovely rump, would like a little more muscle behind and although she moved soundly did not have the merry tail action of my class winner today. 3rd Cooper’s Charlaza Code Red.
