The old successful team of trainer Conor Dore and jockey Hayley Turner were back in business at Nottingham when Eye Of The Storm caused a 16-1 upset by beating odds-on Road To Paris.

Dore and Turner were a team to fear ten years ago, especially on the all-weather, and the one-eyed gelding, a former Group performer with Aidan O'Brien, was a 70th winner ridden by Saturday's Shergar Cup star Turner for the Lincolnshire trainer.

Dore, sending out his first winner on the Flat this year following success with Hurricane Rita over jumps after three years in the doldrums, told Racing TV: "I think he enjoyed dropping in class.
