Formscan By John O'Riordan - The progressive COPACABANA SANDS can complete a three-timer. A Listed winner at Naas in May, the Michael O'Callaghan-trained filly stepped up to this grade when following up at Leopardstown on her next appearance. With the form of that contest having been boosted subsequently, it is hard to get away from the daughter of Sands Of Mali. UK raider Celestial Orbit had been in decent form prior to struggling in the French Guineas last time. However, now eased in class and, dropped back in trip, the Ollie Sangster-trained filly has to be a contender. Galway winner Princess Child will need to improve again but has to be respected for her in-form connections.
