Verdict

A fairly useful hurdler, COME ON THE LADS hasn't made much impact in 2 starts over fences but he goes handicapping in this sphere off a mark only 1 lb higher than winning at the Galway Festival last year. He is taken to get the better of Marelly, who also has a lower mark over fences than hurdles, with Doyen Magic another to consider.
