Verdict

Circle of Fire looked a nice prospect when scorching clear at Salisbury last year, though that was on fast going. Flying Honours stamped himself a smart juvenile when landing the Group 3 Zetland over this trip at Newmarket in the autumn but may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type. ARREST (NAP) was clear of the remainder when just touched off in a Group 1 on heavy ground at Saint Cloud at the end of last season and Frankie can steer him home in front here, though Salt Bay is also interesting upped in trip.
