Intense Approach (G)
Useful hurdler with good strike rate. Took well to fences with a big-field maiden success on 22.5f Galway reappearance in August but disappointed at Cheltenham in October. Opening mark looks on the stiff side.

Elysian Knight (G)
Dual hurdles winner last term and signed that campaign off with a good second in Plumpton handicap (20.5f, good to soft) in April. Should make a chaser but made an unpromising start in this sphere at Chepstow last month.
