PD (12, 3)

1: K Steptoe and Son

2: Danks-Kemish & Swannell’s ALOLFRANA ALL I ASK OF EVEANDABEC, more mature than winner and with many pleasing attributes, just preferred the cleaner lines and raciness of the winner.

2: Cole’s RIVERBRUE OPHELIA BOBBY, not the style and presence of the winner, not as pleasing head properties, rather short-stepping front action detracts from the overall impression of him on the move.

GD (6, 0)

1: Sheldon’s BARDONHILL A MILLION WAYS TO DELSANTO, typical style and pattern with very pleasing head, properties, well-placed elbows with decent return of upper arm, ample fill of fore-chest, pleasing rib cage, pleasing coat texture and colour, would have preferred a little more strength in his rear quarters and a little proud of his tail on the move.

2: Pike’s REDCLYST THE CELT, typical shape, and proportions with pleasing flow of outline and ample length of leg, good length of rib cage, well coupled, good coat, pleasing coordination on the move with a balanced and even footfall, not quite the finish of the winner on the day.

2: Needs’ COVARNEY PACO RABANNE AT STOURFORD, imposing when stacked up with more refinement in head properties than winner, ample substance, and depth of body with pleasing rib and top line, somewhat more exaggerated in hind construction than winner which makes him less well co-ordinated on the move.

3: Pike’s REDCLYST BORIS

OD (6, 0)

1: Edwards’ ShCh GWENDARIFF UCAN'TMISSME BONHOMIE – CC, thought him a standout winner in a quality class, so well balanced and symmetrical in profile with the requisite degree of angulation and balance of his forehand and rear assemblies, refined and well-balanced masculine head with pleasing eye shape and position and correctly set and carried ears, correct coat texture and length, gave an excellent account of himself on the move, just doesn’t need to carry any more weight.

2: Hemmings’ ShCh ORLANSET A NEW FLAME, worthy title holder with much to like about him, full of true breed character and type with a pleasing head, racy appearance, ample length of leg, pleasing rib and loin, correct coat, just not quite as fluid on the move as winner.

VD (2, 0)

1: Rowbottom’s ShCh LANSTARA SPRING MOON – RCC, BV, impressive exhibit in full maturity, stands over his ground so well with sufficient angulation fore and aft to provide correct balance and carriage both on the stack and the move, totally masculine in build and appearance yet without coarseness and still demonstrating the desired racy appearance, pleasing symmetry of body outline and proportions, pleasing depth of colour and looking every inch the champion he is.

2: Toms’ CLANNRUA BIRCH Vet Ch, pleasing shape and outline, somewhat lighter in frame and build than the winner and not making the most of himself on the move.

YB (7, 2)

1: F Pop The Champers

LB (10, 0)

1: Bayne’s CORRANROO RAINBOW SHIMMER, high quality exhibit with many virtues and few faults, exemplifying the breed standard in so many ways, enhanced the intensity of competition both in the class and the best of sex line up.

OB (8, 2)

1: Catling’s ShCh TELERI INDIAN SUMMER (AI) JW, CC & BOB, previously awarded her a Res CC and found no reason to change my high option of her on this occasion, stood out here and in the line-up and simply could not be denied the top award.

2: Sterritt’s Ir ShCh CORRANROO JUST ONE KISS WITH RIVERSETT Jun Ch, Res CC, same way bred as limit winner with remarkable similarity of style and appearance making for a hair-splitting decision when awarding the Res CC.
