Vincent Finegan's Glorious Goodwood Tips

Zavateri, Tue, 28th Jul, 2026, Hkjc World Pool Lennox Stakes (Group 2)

Zavateri is entered for both the Lennox Stakes on Tuesday and the Sussex Stakes on Wednesday at Goodwood. The first option appears far easier and if connections decide to run Zavateri in Tuesday's race I think he is worth backing. He won at this meeting last season before going on the bag the National Stakes at the Curragh when beating Gstaad in a thriller. His comeback run, when second in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury, was another solid effort and he could prove too strong for his older rivals in the Group Two contest over seven furlongs.

Two Tribes, Sat, 1st Aug, 2026, Coral Stewards' Cup (Heritage Handicap)

Two Tribes landed a right old touch (backed from 20/1 to 11/2) in this race last year, when scoring easily up by 2 1/2 lengths. His recent form figures wouldn't inspire confidence, but I'm sure this race has been his target all year and if he gets a decent draw (high stalls numbers tend to dominate) is one to keep on the right side of.
