FATH THE HOPEFUL CHOICE

Rely on the back-to-form Fath to land the Charles Heidsieck Champagne Hopeful Stakes over six furlongs at Newmarket tomorrow.

A smart two-year-old last season when he finished a close second in the Middle Park Stakes for Marcus Tregoning, Fath joined the Godolphin outfit last autumn and spent the winter in Dubai.

The son of Danzig reappeared in the Sagitta 2000 Guineas but made no show in the one-mile Classic.

Dropped back to seven furlongs for the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot for his next run, Saeed bin Suroor`s charge showed improvement to finish a four-length sixth behind Observatory after being found wanting inside the final furlong.

Back to six furlongs for his most recent outing at Doncaster, Fath looked different class when easily beating the speedy Proud Native by two lengths.

Six furlongs appears to be his ideal trip and Fath is napped to follow up tomorrow and earn a possible tilt at the Group One Stanley Leisure Sprint at Haydock Parkon Saturday week.

Mark Johnston is enjoying a fantastic season and the Middleham trainer can strike with Cool Investment in the Breheny Stakes over 15 furlongs.

The progressive colt showed a good attitude to win a six-runner minor event at Windsor in July by one and a quarter lengths from Lucky Lady.

Last time he ran well to finish a two-and-a-quarter-length third behind Wait For The Will at Ascot when he made his effort too soon and after being clear in straight faded inside the final furlong.

That race was over a mile and a half and ridden with more restraint Cool Investment should have little difficulty getting the extra three furlongs tomorrow.

At Thirsk Proletariat has an outstanding chance in the European Breeders Fund Maiden Stakes.

Henry Candy`s two-year-old finished fourth, beaten seven lengths behind Hurricane Floyd in a hot race at Newmarket last time out.

The runner-up, Bannister, has since won the Group Two Gimcrack Stakes and the third Eminence has gone on to finish second to Sagitta 2000 Guineas favourite Hemingway in York`s Acomb Stakes.

Proletariat will only be available at short odds at Thirsk but should have little difficulty getting off the mark.

Johnston can keep his winner bandwagon rolling with Lion In The Course in the Tattersalls Maiden Auction Stakes and Star Rage 30 minutes later in the Joe Baggott Retirement Stakes.
