You know what? Yes, feel free to checkraise the turn.
I'm not used to hands like this one anymore, but I think a turn checkraise is possibly best.

Why have you changed your mind from calling the turn to check raising ?
Does the possibility of cleaning up your overcard outs (before you know that UTG is probably beating top pair) swing this for you ?
Edit: Ok, you answered my question, at the same time that I was posting.

To explain the reason for my change of opinion (or to try to):
I'm not used to pots that are this big and have so many people still involved anymore.
But in large pots, increasing your chances of winning, if you have the chance to, can be a very good thing. And while in protected pots like this one you won't have favorable opportunities to buy outs on the turn very often, this could be one of those rare opportunities.
Our draw is huge, and a turn checkraise from us will look very scary at this point. So hands that have us reverse-dominated might fold for two more. Which would help our chances of winning.
And we do have our massive draw to fall back on, if we get cold-called instead (or even if we go to the river 3-handed).
