LONDON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Financial spreadbetters expected Britain's FTSE 100 to open 20 to 23 points higher, or 0.4 percent, Germany's DAX to open 30 to 43 points higher, or 0.5 percent, and France's CAC 40 to open 19 to 23 points higher, or 0.6 percent, on Monday. * Investors gave a cautious thumbs-up to the European Central Bank's (ECB) health check of euro zone banks, describing it as a step in the right direction rather than the final word on the state of the bloc's financial system.
