1st Bamford & Church’s Pafaxen High in The Sky. This 10mth presents a good outline on the stand. Head with a lot of work to do, a little flat across the skull and light in eye but with good pigment. Fairly short neck into well laid shoulders. Deep chest with correct spring of rib for his age. Moderate rear angles. Movement lets him down at the moment, a little close both coming and going but with an easy steady gait.
