Not many sons of Galileo end up in a Worcester claiming hurdle, but that is the fate of Buonarotti Boy, who has strong claims for his top connections. He is much respected, along with the evergreen Ascendant, but preference is for SAFFRON WELLS, who is the best of these on ratings and has good recent form in the book. Ffos Las winner Deebaj is another with a good chance in an above-average claimer.
