1st Place 3670 - Hundwith Gullfoss (Mr D J Crowther), although this 7 months baby stood alone,

he could certainly have held his own in company, lovely quality and well made all

through with well made front, good bone and correct feet, well ribbed body and 

excellent hindquarters with width of thigh, comes into his own on the move where

he shows excellent profile gait where he maintains his outline and is totally sound out

and back, BPIB;

hindquarters, well-muscled and shown in good condition, sound mover who covered

the ground in profile, good luck with him, he should have a future;

2nd Place 3673 - Minstergate Horizon (L Duffy) this is another promising youngster whose outline

when he settles;

soundly on a pleasing stride, sure to do well;

2nd Place 3713 - Prodigy of Jacob (Miss G Willetts), not the quality of 1 and rather lacking
