Formscan - There was plenty to like about BELLBIRD's hurdling bow at Stratford three weeks ago, where she reached the frame, and given that improvement should be on the cards, Donald McCain's new recruit is taken to get off the mark over timber. A winner on the Flat when trained in France, Cusano warrants the utmost respect for his leading yard, while Opera King, who would hold solid claims on the form of his Market Rasen third in March, heads the remainder.
