VD (1) 1 Wells Collingvale Cast a Spell over Terelimon, 7yo sable shown in good nick, balanced with well proportioned headpiece and ears set high, dark almond shaped eyes obliquely set, straight forelimbs down to tidy feet, rather lazy with his neck today, typical in topline with gentle slope to croup, a touch narrow in hindquarters, steady in action, shown in full coat. 

MPD (1) 1 Broadhead Rahlisa Only Make Believe, well grown 6mo sable, head of good length with minimal stop appropriately placed, lovely eye and expression, ears high set, decent front assembly, elbows held firm, arch to neck, depth to sprung ribcage, reasonable topline. Gentle turn to stifle, fairly respectable mover. 

PD (3) 1 Cronk Chelborn Story Teller, impressive tri of 11mo, acting like a real juvenile but no denying his quality, admired his overall make and shape, balanced head with good plains and well placed ears and lovely expression, depth to his well sprung ribcage, firm topline with gentle rise over loins, scored in definition to hindquarters and comes into is own on the move once he settles to the job in hand, CC, his excitement at being reunited with his handler in the challenge for best of breed unfortunately went against him.  2 Blake Corydon Trump The Lot, I felt this 10mo quality sable was at a rather awkward stage in his development, although he possesses a masculine head of length I preferred the expression of the winner, decent front assembly, arch to neck, level topline, sound hindquarters, free reachy mover shown in coat of good texture. 3 Benton & Smith Brooklynson El Dorado. 

JD (2) 1 Blake Corydon Trump The Lot. 2 White Mejola Dangerous Liaison, well grown 14mo but very out of coat, head is well proportioned with a well placed dark almond shaped eye, 1/3 tipped ears well placed and used to advantage, straight forelimbs, arch to neck, has dropped a little body weight along with his coat, gentle rise over loin, turn to stifle, steady mover. 

ND (2,1abs) 1 Blake Corydon Trump The Lot. 

GD (3,1) 1 White Mejola Fate and Fortune, 14mo Blue merle, in decent coat and showing to best advantage, head of length with minimal stop positioned correctly, eye rather small but clean dark and almond shaped, balance to muzzle with good underjaw, straight front and firm elbows, deep well sprung ribcage, good tailset and carriage, turn to stifle, free mover.  2 Blake Corydon Trump  The Lot. 

PGD (3,1) 1 Grindley Lanrue Christopher Robyn, well balanced, preferred expression from well placed dark almond shaped eyes and neat ears used to advantage, arch to neck, well ribbed up and carried back, firm topline, loin and croup, moved out respectably, coat of decent texture. 2 Jones Ingledene Dare to Dream with Dancol,  very well grown lad, would prefer ribs to come back a little further, well turned out, steady mover. 

LD (5) 1 Wells Collingvale Crunchie at Terelimon, clean cut and presents a very balanced outline, uses himself to very best advantage, liked his ear set and eye which are of good shape and well set, arch to neck, decent front assembly, well ribbed up, good for topline and sweep over loin, well modelled hindquarters, true enough on the move, quality coat.  2 Grindley Lanrue Christopher Wren, quite similar but not just the expression of 1, also liked his balance outline which allowed him to move out smoothly with purpose.  3 Wright Pelido David  Weir. 

OD (4) 1 Geddes Ch Ingledene Spirits Arise, felt this tri stood away here, although when it came to the challenge he was looking a bit bored with the proceedings, well grown and masculine without anything in excess, head of length and clean all through, arched neck into excellent front assembly, depth to well sprung ribcage, desired topline and powerful hindquarters, true mover shown in excellent coat, RCC.  2  Rae Antoc Soul Mate, sable, another masculine lad without a hint of coarseness, head is shallow through with almond shaped dark eyes well placed, well ribbed up, firm loin, definition to hindquarters but can stand a little awkward at times, steady mover.  3 Mellish Demelewis Catchmydrift.  

VB (1) 1 Hawkins Ch Brilyn Platinum Lustre, 9yo Blue merle, very sprightly and keen to please, ultra feminine and shown in very heavy coat,  head is very well laid out and balanced, eyes dark, minimal stop, well ribbed up, defined waist, sweep over loin, definition to hindquarters, free mover, BV. 

PB (2,1) 1 Rafcliffe Wicani Midnight Finale for Colecliffe, 9mo and still rather raw, well grown, ears well placed and used well, eyes dark and of good shape, arch to neck, good topline, strong hindquarters, good texture coat coming. 

JB (6) 1 Beare Jemspark Maid In Secret, ultra feminine light sable who I though a little beauty, most attractive headpiece with attributes so well laid out, super dark almond shaped eye giving lovely expression, excellent neck and carriage, ribs just right for age, good topline, croup and tail carriage, moved out most respectably in all directions, carried a quality coat, just needs a bit more experience in the big ring, my pleasure to award her 1st CC & BOB. 2 Geddes Ingledene Lace N'Grace, a size larger and more roomy in outline whilst retaining her femininity, not quite the sweet expression of 1, well ribbed and bodied, looks like she could do a days work.  3 Williams Ingledene Seasons in the Sun at Essanjay. 

NB (1) 1 RandallFata Turchina Ladnar Di Cambiano, VHC in J, 11mo Blue merle, in between coats, proportioned head with fairly small eye, ears well placed, decent front, ribs developing, turn to stifle, moved out freely. 

GB (3,1) 1  Boyle Barraclough Touch of Thyme, from J class, feminine and quite well balanced, dark almond shaped eyes well placed giving sweet expression, ears used to advantage, reasonable neck, well ribbed up, turn to stifle, moved out better here.  2nd Edwards Jashika Shine Like A Diamond, 2yo carrying quite a heavy body, head with length, eyes dark and well placed, minimal stop, decent front, topline to settle, touch erratic on the move. 

PGB (9,2) Difficult class. 1st Macdonald Brooklynson Hepburn at Rossavon, this young lady stood away here as she was well presented and schooled, upstanding with balanced headpiece carried on an excellent neck, I admired her lovely eye and expression, good for rib and loin, decent hindquarters and a free mover. 2 Flower Serenlas Obsession, length to head, would benefit from a little more fill to muzzle, steady mover.  3  Glover Wicani Cinnabar. 

LB (7,1) 1 Margetts Collingvale Creme Anglaise, 2 and a half year old Sable, quite showy and very well balanced, uses neck and ears to best advantage, admired her eye and expression, decent front assembly, well ribbed up and back, sound hindquarters, moved out with purpose, decent coat, well handled.  2 Beare Guilty Secret with Brilyn, ultra feminine and similar to Junior winner, not quite so positive in action, admired her for type, make and shape and overall presentation. 3 Ranadll Ladnar Inkheart. 

OB (9,2) 1 Cronk Chelborn Kiss'n Desire, ultra feminine and in full bloom, possesses a very attractive eye and expression, balanced all through and presents a clean outline, shown to great advantage, RCC. 2 Harrison Cariadhaf Candy Kisses, blue merle who is also very showy, presents a very balanced outline and was also in full bloom, head with length carried on arch neck, dark eyes, well ribbed up, defined hindquarters, steps out smartly. 3 Margetts Collingvale Creme Caramel.
