Circle of Fire was slowly away at Leicester and wasn’t unduly punished in the closing stages. He’ll know more today but the Hannon stable boasts a good record in this contests and run three. Pat Dobbs rides ROMAN SPRING so it’s safe to assume that the Chelmsford fourth is the stable pick. Tabaretta has a really nice pedigree so will almost certainly improve on his first run at Sandown, where he did meet trouble in-running. Limerick Bound looks the pick of the newcomers on breeding.
