Verdict
San Pedro won over the trip at Fontwell in May and started favourite for his comeback there last month but weakened quickly after making the early running. DEAR RALPHY looked like winning when falling two out here in April then ran a shocker at Uttoxeter though a bad mistake didn't help. Cochise has won three times on the Flat though has shown little in four starts over timber but Baby Sham would have a definite chance providing the going doesn't ease further.
