Formscan  - Innamorato has yet to match his French hurdles form in two outings since switching to Paul Nicholls and it may be best to look elsewhere. FIVE BAR GATE is the obvious port of call after posting a respectable fifth over C&D last month and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Leader Crik will find this easier than his sixth at Cheltenham and is feared most.
