Forecasts

Termonator (11/4), Cusack (7/2), Stand Free (15/2), Headshot (8/1), Haven Lady (17/2), Relentless Sun (10/1), Scots Sonnet (12/1), Turbulent Power (14/1), Saulire Star (20/1), Sisu (20/1), Mr Coco Bean (25/1), Iron Sheriff (33/1)

TERMONATOR hasn't won for a while, but he's been knocking firmly on the door of late and remains of strong interest following a career best over C&D. Turbulent Power and Cusack head up the dangers.
