 Turko currently averages a 33% strike rate in all races but the fact is that he is yet to win a chase with more than six runners. He has been placed well by his trainer and has won a considerable amount of prizemoney but the downside of this is the big weight in the Grand National. Add to this the combination of being French bred and wearing a tongue tie (i.e. the suggestion of a past or current breathing problem) then he looks one to safely avoid.
