Remmy D brought up a Curragh double for Joseph O'Brien and Seamie Heffernan in the mile and a half handicap.
He soon led and went for home in the final two furlongs. The Lawman gelding increased his advantage to three lengths coming to the final furlong and closed out the race well at 7/2. City Ballerina (7/2) cut into the lead in the latter stages to get to within a length and a quarter without ever looking like reeling in the winner.
O'Brien also saddled the 9/4 favourite, Dream Point who finished third. She was beaten four and a half lengths by her stablemate.
Joseph O'Brien said: "He's progressing with racing and Seamie gave him a lovely ride. He got it nice and easy up in front and he got up to the line well.
"We put blinkers on him one day and they didn't seem to help but the cheekpieces suit him well."
Heffernan took the preceding race, the Group Three Ballyogan Stakes, on board Actress while O'Brien was successful in race two with Dom Carlos
