Very neat b/t in sparkling condition, not the front or angulation of first but sound behind and held his outline.

Liked this dark red a lot, lovely head on her, very pleasing in type, good neck and front, so good to go over, holds a firm topline, sound on the move. 2 Stokes' Tydurcwrt Zulu Dawn At Webbers.
