BROADWAY looks best of Aidan O'Brien's trio having made a promising start behind her odds-on stable-companion Butterscotch at Naas in June. Athena's last run was in a Group 3 so she'll find this less daunting while Ger Lyons has made a blistering start to the campaign so Shannow, who is related to numerous winners, is one to keep an eye on. Jim Bolger's Claiomh Geal has a very nice pedigree as has Dermot Weld's Jaega, who has an Irish Oaks entry while Samasthiti is related to a couple of winners.
