My Boy Lewis went to the front at this distance before being caught on the line when tackling a mile at Redcar where he attempted to concede 10lb to the winner. The Big House likes Catterick's easy track and gained his second victory there earlier this month for which he's raised 5lb. Runner-up House Deposit should get closer on the stiffer track while Bibbidibobbidiboo stayed on well over the trip at Musselburgh. POET'S MAGIC has never won but made a promising debut for John Quinn in a better-class event than this at Musselburgh on Friday and can lose her maiden tag. Let Right Be Done was also placed the same day and though on a very long losing run can't go any lower in the ratings. Inner Circle returned from a break with a narrow defeat at Yarmouth and is another to consider in an open handicap.
