- Won finally because he has everything in place. His head feathers are very strong – width, blow, back skull, height, stance excellent
- Also very good – all round strong head, good outline. Soft feather – some flights missing.
- Big strong bird. Massive solder, great length – but flights missing.
- Impact bird but missing too many feathers.
Judges comments (recorded by Carol Gough):
The class we have been waiting for. We have been looking all day for a class that would really grab our attention and this is a strong class maybe right down to tenth placing. The class is really worth looking at although some of the top birds have one or two flights missing. The top three or four birds are really powerful and really outstanding birds. The winner has probably everything in favour for head features are really strong, width and blow, back skull, nice style of body, good length. He didn’t give as much as he could have but he gave enough.
Second has nice impact, beautiful outline, soft feather but missing those couple of flights works against him a little bit. Third has strong massive shoulder, good width and on any other day would be the winner. An excellent class.
