Mark with a trail of fire? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blaze

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'mark' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'trail of fire?' is the second definition.
'blaze' can be an answer for 'fire?' (blaze is a kind of fire). I'm unsure of the 'trail of' bit.

'with a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blaze that I've seen before include "Burn with a strong flame" , "Vivid display" , "Burst of light" , "rage" , "Conflagration" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
