The Ballydoyle squad is spearheaded by Debutante Stakes winner Tapestry, who was supplemented for 22,500 euros at the confirmation stage.
"It was always the plan to go there with her. She's won her two starts very nicely. She's in good form and everything seems very well with her. It looks a good race and it will be a good experience for her," O'Brien told At The Races.
The trainer also saddles Wonderfully and Perhaps, who were first and second respectively in the Group Three Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown six weeks ago.
Dermot Weld lifted this prize back in 1987 with Flutter Away and looks to Carla Bianca, who was runner-up to the O'Brien-trained odds-on favourite Australia over the course and distance on her only start in July.
"It's a big step but she ran very well at the Curragh. She's progressing and should represent us well," said the Rosewell handler.
"She's still pretty immature, I expect her to develop over the winter and I think she'll be well up to Group One level next year."
