Fire Fighting reappears in Dundalk heat There are two Fast-Track Qualifiers for the Lingfield All-Weather Championships on a competitive seven-race card at Dundalk on Friday evening. Fire Fighting heads a field of seven for the Visit attheraces.com Race, and the Mark Johnston-trained gelding reappears after a seven-month break with the Good Friday spectacular a likely target. The ultra-tough six-year-old was second to Grendisar in the Middle Distance Championship at Lingfield last year, and his 12 career wins include the Listed Carlingford Stakes over this course and distance. The other English challenger Elbereth, a Listed winner over 10 furlongs at Nottingham last summer, is reappearing off an even longer break. Andrew Balding's charge has progressed with virtually every run, while the home team includes Elleval and Pique Sous. The other Fast-Track Qualifier, the Download The Award-Winning At The Races App Race over six furlongs, has also attracted two British runners among a field of nine. The James Given-trained Sign Of The Kodiac and Phil McEntee's Pearl Spectre have no fitness concerns with both busy already this year, while the veteran Gordon Lord Byron is back from a spell in Dubai. Pat Smullen is aboard both Fire Fighting and Sign Of The Kodiac, and the champion has prospects elsewhere on the evening with St Stephens Green in the two-mile maiden and Tennesse Waltz in the mile handicap.
