Herculis returns

[crofter]

Given the four links to be established (using the words taken from today's DT) I would like to ask ABers precisely which words they would predict will appear in Monday's edition of the DT.

This is just a fun experiment. There will be no points - no timings taken - no spreadsheets.

The words from the DT are given in BLOCK CAPITALS and my personal predictions are also given (see below)

ILLUSTRIOUS Past
THOROUGHBRED Stallion
GLOW Worm
Door CHIME
