Solving Sudoku puzzles made easy (part 3)

There's only one place that the 4 can go in the top-left box.
Make a note in column two where the 2 and 9 could go.
Make a note in middle-left box where the 2 and 9 could go.
Let's attack row three next, so write down the missing numbers 1,2 and 9 to the right of the puzzle.
Full series here.

Following the link, from part (2):

"Next you right down all the numbers missing from the first two columns (2,4,6,8,9 and 2,4,8,9)."

'right' down?
