Forecasts

Sir Joseph Swan (1/1), Savoy Brown (5/1), Libbretta (11/2), Pilot Wings (11/2), Stormingin (14/1), Crestwood (18/1), Global Style (20/1), Go On Gal (40/1), Joyful Song (50/1)

SIR JOSEPH SWAN ran well returning from a 4-month break when runner-up here a fortnight ago and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice. Savoy Brown and Pilot Wings head the dangers.
