Brandfords Restaurant & Bars Handicap Stakes

Le Rouge Chinois won three starts back and has experience of today's trip and conditions, with our rating marking him clear of this field. The 104-day absence and out-of-form yard are the only notes of caution on a horse who looks the one to beat at the weights.

Consistently placed in his last two starts and carrying a career-competitive 134 lb, Urban Warrior has run over today's trip and shaped with enough promise to rate a leading danger here; the main risk is that he remains yet to win in recent starts.

Highland Harvey arrives here in fine heart, winning last time out and second two starts back on today's going, with 21 days between runs suggesting he's ready to go again. Carrying 132 lb is the one factor to watch.

Winless in his last five starts, with three consecutive fourths and a return of 131 days making it hard to build a case for Fornido — his second four starts back at least hints at some ability, and he has run over today's trip and going before.

Winless in her last five starts, Regally Blonde nevertheless showed a shade of promise with a third two starts back, and having run over today's trip and going she is not without claims — though a rating of 49 and a mid-pack ranking suggest she faces a stiff task.
