Showed well to win a good class. 2 Burrow's Redcap Trumpet Major for Summerlily. Smart and compact tri dog. Good outline, moved and showed well.

ND (7) 1 Peach's Beaurein Kiwi Connection. 2 Burrow's Redcap Trumpet Major for Summerlily. 3 Newlin Flint.

GD (7,1) 1 Davies' Barrvale Overture. 2 May's Janfrey Elliott. Ultra smart tri dog. Lovely compact outline, not moving as well in front as the winner. 3 Hunt and Norris' Shercroft Flinders.

PGD (5) 1 Clay's Almarda Watchmaker of Houndscroft. Smart tri dog with a good outline, would not co-operate with his handler. 2 Walker's Molesend Magician at Barughgreen. Tri mottle with super bone. Smaller mould than the winner, but not as positive in front, possibly because he was carrying too much weight across his shoulders. 3 Gilbert's Callidoniane Emerald.

LD (10,1) 1 Jones and Jepson's Eardley Duncan Disorderly. Beautifuly presented and shown tri dog. Lovely size, straight front and a super outline. Just looked a little immature in the final  line up.

Outstandingly good mover with a very good outline. 3 Burrow's Shercroft Pioneer at Summerlily.

Superb outline, was playing up on the move in his class but got his act together in the challenge to take the Res CC. 3 Peak's Ch Bayard Grafter.

Vet D (7,1) 1 May's Ch Janfrey Chadwick. Tri dog who I awarded BPIB to many years ago. Still a lovely looking dog in good condition, with super bone.
