Forecasts

Circle of Fire (7/4), Tabaretta (4/1), Roman Spring (4/1), Pavise (13/2), Ensued (9/1), Limerick Bound (9/1), Red Fort (25/1), Blue Hour (40/1), Top Of The Shot (200/1)

CIRCLE OF FIRE stayed on nicely at Leicester on debut and will be well suited by the step up in trip. He can make it second time lucky, with Roman Spring and Tabaretta, who made promising starts themselves, the dangers.
