Race preview
No Cruise Yet has finished fourth in four of his five starts since going handicapping, pulling up on the other occasion. He ran well for a long way at Uttoxeter last time, while Watching Brief also brings satisfactory recent form to the table, having made the frame at Newton Abbot before finishing fourth at Uttoxeter. This doesn't look all that competitive, though, so a chance is taken on ISLE ROAD. The veteran won on decent ground at Newton Abbot 13 months ago and has run well fresh in the past.
