Reserve overall Tonley Alonso from Neil Wattie was next up, this is by Mosston Muir Edgar and out of Tonley Annie, a Nothern Samurai daughter. Bidding on this was equally as brisk with a number of breeders keen to get in on the action, the price finally settled at 10,000gns.

Then was senior champion, Blelack Evor, a Peter Pershore son out of Blelack Evora, a Blackstock daughter. He was in demand too with a flurry of bids heading past 15,000gns in a matter of seconds and finally being knocked down at 18,000gns to Mr Dobson, The Wall,, Shropshire.

Reserve senior, Wedderlie Tidy Baron came next, this is by Rossiter Eric and out of Tui Tidy Bee, a Big Dry Ranchers Choice daughter and netted a price of 13,000gns to Schivas Estate.
