Kempton tips: Racecard, analysis and preview for the feature contest on Monday

KEMPTON stages a good-quality all-weather card on Monday afternoon.

There is plenty of prize-money up for grabs at the Sunbury track, with eight useful types set to contest the £20,000 fillies’ handicap.

The weights are headed by Exceed Loose, who is an interesting recruit for Marco Botti.

The four-year-old had a productive career in Italy, winning three times (including over this 7f in Rome) and finishing placed at Listed level.

She was disappointing when last sighted 72 days ago, and it is hard to gauge how well-treated she is off a mark of 90. The market will be informative.

At the other end of the scale, Lucymai is incredibly well-handicapped off her current perch of 88.

Dean Ivory’s mare won a big pot off 12lb higher at Chelmsford in August 2018, but she has gradually been on the downgrade since then.

She wasn’t disgraced behind a smart filly at Wolverhampton last time and this is easier, but there is a suspicion she is vulnerable at present.

Visionara wasn’t far behind Lucymai at Lingfield two starts ago and this track will likely suit her better.

She is worth considering for each-way purposes, given her overall unconvincing record, while the in-form Kwela will appreciate the return to this venue.

But LADY OF ARAN is also on an upward trajectory, and she was only half a length behind Kwela when third here two starts ago (now 7lb better off).

In fact, she finished ahead of both Kwela and Visionara (incredibly strong at the finish) when second at Lingfield last time.

She is another who will benefit from the return to this more conventional course, she is well-drawn and, though a few of these are quite tightly-matched, she has the most scope for improvement.
