1ST: REVILL & TAYLOR’S Julita Rhubette. Feminine bitch, pleasing expression, good neck and well laid back shoulders. Very balanced on the move which won her the class. (BPIB)
2nd: TAYLER’S Julita Rhyne. Litter brother to 1. Quite a strong head and appeared up to size. Good feet, correct top line. Rather erratic on the move which affected his hind movement somewhat.
YEARLING (1 Entry) Abs: 0
1st: FERGUSON’S Taihang Scherezade at Teaselwood. Out of a finer and slightly longer mould, good feet. Moved OK and kept correct topline round the ring, however would have preferred a little bit more drive.

2nd: RIDGE’S Stagarth Now I’m here at Saanu. Close up to 1. Pleasing head of good proportions, lovely expression. Good neck and should and correct topline. Straight mover. Plenty of drive around the ring and good tail carriage
