crufts qualifications

hi,

can anyone give my friend some advice?. he has a dog which at many of the champ show do not offer cc's. if he enters these champ shows and gets a first 2nd or 3rd in puppy, junior, post graduate, limit or open, would he still qualify for crufts or does the class have to offer cc's for him to qualify?
thanks, i assumed that if no cc's are on offer for his breed, he would still qualify, as the classes seem really expensive if you can't even qualify for crufts at them?!

thanks for any advice
