SHIFA, three times a winning bumper in France, has cost her supporters plenty on her runs for Willie Mullins over timber. She couldn't get to Gerdalia over 2m3f at Limerick last time but the slightly longer trip and less taxing conditions should enable her to record her first success over obstacles. Dont Tell The Boys was a progressive bumper winner who was highly tried on his hurdling debut in October and didn't get far but more is expected while Eight Is My number made his hurdling debut in a very strong maiden at Navan and ran with enough promise to suggest she can prove a threat. Battle Bound has produced three reasonable efforts in bumpers after being well beaten on his debut over timber in November.
