D (1) 1 Bubbs' Teckelgarth Leap Of Faith. Promising, typy brindle built on the right lines; ex head through skull & muzzle; gd backline; ex jacket; strong in bone & quarters; needed to settle into his stride but once he got his act together he made gd use of his construction to demonstrate a long, free stride.BPIB.

JD (2,1) 1 Davies' Atahira Joie De Bleu. Well matured at 16m; such breed quality as well as sound & stylish; masculine w/o coarseness in head; gd neck & angles; gd proportions; ex jacket; gd bone & feet; full rump; will surely make the grade. BD

PGD (2,1) 1 Rowes' Boloriia's Cadbury's Surprise. Excitingly immature 13m choc/tan; he was raw but had the desired construction&balance;tapered head but strong muzzle;gd eye;well ribbed; gd front assembly, angles & jacket; must have an assured future. 

OD (1) 1 Downes' Aventine You Only Live Twice. Looked really gd on the initial stack & at 3yrs had the maturity; appealed less "hands on" and on the move; certainly masculine & his head is proportionate; prefer darker eye; similarly his front & rear assemblies match but I felt he was rather overexaggerated; came on well in front but lacked drive in rear; super jacket & well turned out. RBD.

PB (1) 1 Bliss' Dancindac Cherry Blossom. 10 m brindle; lovely head; gd neck & forechest; well ribbed; gd quarters; can come up more on her pasterns & develop on but oodles of time for that and has all she requires in place to mature to advantage; v. promising.

JB (2) I Cliffords' Ablebody Maybe Maybenot. 12m; gd proportions & shape; lots of breed type & style; gd skull, eye & muzzle; balanced conformation fore & aft; gd neck & backline; all these points combined to give economic, flowing movement. 2 Moores' Romanchi Bella Bella. Immature at 14m that showed with a more cut up underline; gd length to head; gd proportions; can firm in pastern; balanced angles; simply going through that awkward teenager stage & no doubt the finished article will look entirely different.

PGB (2,1) 1 Rowes' Derochaise Atlantica To Boloria. Yearling brindle;bred in the purple; strong muzzle; gd eye; gd neckline & shoulder but can still firm in front; well ribbed back; ex rump;balanced rear angles; gd clearance; touch long to my eye but will surely sort as maturity couples her up; gd jacket; has some style & masses of future promise.

OB (3,1) 1 Barneys' Molloney On Denise For Ramaunt. 3yrs; lovely b; ex combination of type, structure & style; ex head length with strong, tapered muzzle; beautifully ribbed; ex front assembly; gd jacket & turned out to win; her balanced angles fore & aft enabled her to move out true & with ease; surely capable of taking on the v. best this season? BB & BOB. 2 Cliffords' Ritlo Return To Sender With Ablebody. 5 yrs & understandably of heavier build & less ground clearance; gd head & muzzle; touch rounded in backline; beautifully filled in front; matching quarters; well ribbed; ex proportions; noted her outstanding feet; not quite the clean outline given that age disparity.
