Formscan - LIVANO BELLO has filled second place in three of his last six starts and that includes a respectable effort over 2m4f at Fakenham last month. Off the same mark, it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old finally go one better. Knockeranna Rose also hit the crossbar last time and should not be underestimated. Others to note are Beat The Retreat and Malangen.
