      Verdict

      ES QUE LOVE steps up in grade but such was the nature of his dynamic success in a Beverley conditions event that he is hard to oppose. Fast from the gate and travelling strongly, Mark Johnston's charge was never in danger of defeat and scored with any amount in hand. He can deliver again, although Ponty Acclaim looks a real threat after shaping so well when gaining third place in the York contest won by Royal Ascot bound Gatepost. She obviously receives an allowance here and looks a filly that will do well this term. She also holds Alejandro on York running and Frederick Engels, second in two decent maidens, is preferred for third spot in what looks an informative little contest.
