I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cinder circuit' is the definition.
'dirt track' can be an answer for 'circuit' (dirt track is a kind of circuit). I'm not certain of the 'cinder' bit.

'follow after woman right?' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'track' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'woman' becomes 'di' (short for Diana).
'right?' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'di'+'rt'='dirt'
'track' put after 'dirt' is 'DIRT-TRACK'.

'to' acts as a link.
