PD (0). JD (4) 1 Morgan’s Ahlenagens Fancy That, all of a piece, head proportions OK with moderate stop, well set & expressive eye, pleased in body & angulation with just enough bone, held a firm topline on the move. Does not want to grow on any more; 2 Jackson & Minshall’s Holbain Just Like Bill, nice for size & shape, well presented in good coat, scored in head, neck & body, well placed & small ears, neat feet & shows nice lines. Shame he rather gave up & did not help his handler; 3 Thomas’ Indizak Scarlett Feather. PGD (4) 1 Wright’s Orion Shockwave, super coat & presentation & should progress, compact & square, good bone, nice outline, cracking head with good pigment, clean neck & strong rearend, excellent showman, moved out well both ways; 2 Serman’s Rochedo Bill The Badger by Tymy, had a job to split these two & another one for the future.
