      Verdict

      Tim Pitt and James Given are both in great form at present and their two representatives, Folga and Ooh Aah Camara could fight out the finish here, with the last named just getting the verdict. The pick of the others could be Madame Medusa. Ooh Aah Camara has had a busy old season but holds her form well. Her recent third behind Spinning Queen in a Listed race at Warwick looks the best recent form on show and with this slight drop in trip not a problem she should go very close this afternoon. Folga beat previous winner My Gacho at Redcar last time and should go well again despite having to shoulder top-weight. Madame Medusa has come up a against a couple of decent types recently and has had much higher rated animals behind. On the face of it she makes her handicap debut on a very fair mark and should make her presence felt. qusoor is from another in form stable and may do best of the others, but Ooh Aah Camara should have the class to land this valuable handicap.
