INTENSE APPROACH ran well on his first completed start over hurdles in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago and with the likelihood of more to come, he's of interest in his bid to go one place better. Hurdles debutant Stormbreaker needs considering for the powerful Willie Mullins' yard. Eco Pete can do best of the remainder.
