FormscanBy Alan Magee - AMPLE SUFFICIENCY put up by far the best of his three outings last term when beaten just over a length behind Port Douglas in the Juddmonte Beresford Stakes. Significantly that was his only run on a really sound surface, and conditions here look sure to suit. The way he kept on over the mile in that Group 2 event would suggest this step up in trip will suit but the chief concern is an absence of 11 months. The market should provide vital clues to his readiness. Saafarr looked a certain future winner after making much of the running and beaten less than three lengths behind stablemate Moonlight Magic in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown back in May. However the Teofilo colt has failed four times since in maiden company, and appears held by Tree Of Knowledge after the pair filled minor places behind Big Ben at the Curragh ten days ago. Nuclear Option was a promising second behind the selection’s stable-companion Sea Swift at Naas, and may have found seven furlongs too sharp subsequently at Leopardstown.
