Lingfield Tips: Monarch Maid

Stamina gave way in last 150 yards at Kempton after setting an unsustainably strong gallop. Already a winner in this grade and too quickly dismissed after one excusable effort.

Monarch Maid went very hard up-front on her last start and with William Carson taking over from an apprentice she can improve if setting a more even tempo.

Peter Hiatt’s filly scorched through the first 3f at Kempton in 36.1s and had everything off the bridle turning for home. It looked like she might steal the race but tired rapidly in the final 150 yards, losing several places.

Her finishing speed was 98% of her overall speed, which meant she was slowing down at the finish; those ridden with more restraint flew past.

Having won at Ripon on her penultimate start, in this grade, I’m not put off by one excusable defeat.

With a good draw, on a more speed-favouring track, she is overpriced at 12/1 (Bet365)
