Joseph O'Brien complicates matters by saddling Remmy D and DREAM POINT (NAP), who occupied the places behind For Pleasure over this trip at Leopardstown when Rince Deireanach was well beaten. The former hit the front in the final furlong but couldn't hold the winner and the selection was finishing so strongly she would have snatched second in another stride. City Ballerina is making her handicap debut and has never won. She's also tackling this trip for the first time and has been fading after attempting to make all over 1m2f. Tullyallen has only raced on Polytrack or testing ground so it remains to be seen how he handles this surface while Paperback Writer hasn't shown enough in three maidens to be considered.
