Come On The Lads

What stands out is his preference for trips between a mile and six furlongs and two miles. On that ground, he has won 1 from 3 races — a 33 percent win rate that suggests he genuinely thrives when given the room to settle into a rhythm over a longer test. His most recent victory came at Limerick on 31 March 2026, four months ago, which hints that he may have gone through a leaner spell since then. His last six runs tell a story of inconsistency: a ninth-place finish most recently, sandwiched between a fifth and a first-place win earlier in that sequence, with blank runs in between. It is the kind of form that keeps him interesting without making him a banker, and the sort you might back on a hunch rather than certainty.

Kieren Buckley is his most regular partner, but the pair have yet to translate that familiarity into a win — they have ridden out together six times without success. That opens the door for a different jockey to potentially click with the horse, or for Buckley to break through with a well-timed run. Come On The Lads remains a horse with genuine ability at the right trip and the right track, the kind of mid-tier performer who will continue to reward patient punters with occasional wins.
