Rest of class falls away.
Judges comments (recorded by Carol Gough):
Quite a difficult class to judge. We had quite a dilemma with the first two birds .
First is the best bird with great body, shoulder and head but penalised heavily for markings but we felt she was so far in front of the other birds she had to win.
Second is a cock that has good length and directional feather, good variety but his outline let him down as it is not flash.
Third is a very nice variety bird although showing green sheen and a little down in head qualities.
Then the quality fell away but the class is a credit to the breeders who persevere with them.
