Lots with chances but TURBULENCE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth to Church Mountain at Killarney so can resume winning ways off the same mark. Michael O'Callaghan's 5-y-o rates the chief threat despite taking a 4 lb rise for that success, with in-form duo Mr Mills and Golden Spangle both in the mix too in an open handicap.
