Forecasts

Across Earth (6/4), King's School (6/4), Free Speech (4/1), Attila The Honey (12/1)

KING'S SCHOOL showed ability through the winter and, now upped in trip after a gelding operation, he's expected to improve enough to defy a feasible opening mark. Across Earth ran well last time and looks an obvious danger, while Free Speech shouldn't be far away if she's ready to go.
