TURBULENT POWER arrives here in good heart after a brace of second-placed efforts at Catterick and she’s fancied to turn the tables with Robert Johnson, who took advantage of a pace collapse to nail her close home last time. Jamil appeals as being on a fair mark back on the Flat and is another to keep an eye on.
