Formscan - GALACTIQUE struggled to make an impact in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham when last seen in November, but his two previous victories at Fontwell suggest that a mark of 117 should be workable on his handicap debut. His stablemate The Bellhop could prove to be the main danger following his own impressive success at Fontwell. Any market support for Bibe Mus on his debut for these connections should be noted, while Superkap is another to consider.
