COME ON THE LADS has been consistent over hurdles and did well in the circumstances when winning at Galway, surging from last to lead in the dying strides having been badly hampered. He's taken to follow up at the expense of Bowensonfire, who has won twice in handicaps this season and shaped better than his recent fourth suggests. Red Glory, a course and distance winner, remains in good form since winning at Tipperary in July and completes the shortlist.
