CC & BOB; 2 Downes’ Shanlimore Delta Lady at Belshanmish, this young lady was having none of it today, very hard work for her handler, lovely head & expression, tight dark eye, needs more forechest, exhibited in beautiful condition, coat gorgeous, bit difficult to assess movement, looked a little loose in front coming towards. Pretty girl, pity she had a silly head on today.
