In depth
Verdict
Aidan O'Brien runs three here with Diogenes, a good fourth behind Vastonea at Leopardstown last month, looking the best on jockey bookings though both Monte Carlo and Scribe are by Montjeu and related to plenty of winners. Missy O' Gwaun is closely related to three winners and should be monitored in the betting while Mutahadee is a half-brother to seven winners including the useful Subtle Power. Living On Promises has shown ability but was well behind ASHEERAH at Leopardstown at the end of last month and Kevin Prendergast's colt can take this providing he handles the surface.
