By Your Side was a comfortable winner of an amateurs' race at Musselburgh a week ago but was ridden by a 5lb claimer and has a 6lb penalty to overcome. V TWELVE had made steady progress in novice and maiden company before a very promising handicap debut at Ffos Las when just held. With further progress he can go one better though Super Stars has dropped to a very winnable mark. Nonsuch Lad appeared to show improvement when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown last month for which a 3lb rise looks manageable.
