Glorious Goodwood 2016: Intelligence the answer to Richmond Stakes

With the yard in flying form, and Ryan Moore in the saddle, Intelligance Cross looks sure to take all the beating.

Hat-trick seeking Blue Point a major player

Mehmas is a tough and consistent sort who looks sure to give it his best shot, despite having to give weight all-round for his success in the July Stakes, but Blue Point rates the biggest danger to Intelligence Cross.

The Charlie Appleby trained colt has won his first two starts in good style and was particularly impressive in the last of those at Doncaster.

After tracking the leaders, the son of Sharmardal took up the running three from home and pulled readily clear to slam Shamsaya by 11 lengths.

The runner-up is no mug having previosuly finished a 2 1/4 length fourth in the Listed contest at Newmarket, and it was a most taking performance which suggested Blue Point was an above-average performer that needed keeping firmly onside and was well worth a crack at this level.
