      Verdict

      ES QUE LOVE cost 22,000gns and is a half-brother to Dominant who won on his racecourse debut. Mark Johnston's colt could be good enough to score on his and he gets the vote. Mr Majeika finished fourth at Musselburgh on his debut and looks the best of those with experience on that evidence, though Bluebells Are Blue was slowly away at Nottingham on his first start. Abercandy may do better on turf after finishing down the field on the Fibresand last month and makes more appeal than stablemates Bajan Hero and Captain Baldwin.
