Turku is not the most consistent of animals but has excellent claims if close to his best and gets the TEAMtalk vote. Nick Littmoden's charge can confirm the placings with Bulawayo, who finished a half-length behind and is 1lb worse off, when scoring over course and distance in October and also finished a creditable fourth in a 7f Lingfield handicap last time. Merely A Monarch had Red Delirium beaten a half-length when landing a seller over this trip at Southwell last time but, along with veteran Palacegate Touch, both have more to do on these terms.
