Race preview
BY YOUR SIDE has been kept busy throughout the winter months over hurdles, running on no less than 11 occasions, and has held his form particularly well, having just been denied at the Punchestown Festival last time. Connections have booked Billy Loughnane and there is a lot to like about his profile back on the level. Aqwaam filled the runner-up spot off this mark at Doncaster last time and he is respected, along with Two Brothers and Claritudo.
