MOYA'S CHARM is selected to land Division One of the mares bumper. Similar Fashion and Gentle Caribou are expected to pose a few problems on the way. Gentle Caribou was well backed on her racecourse debut earlier in the month and created a favourable impression. She has to merit consideration in an event like this and a careful noting of the betting activity is recommended where she is concerned. Similar Fashion represents a powerful yard and, having run out of steam at Towcester last time out; this flatter track is likely to be more up her street. A test of stamina already seems to be on her agenda, so all is still to play for if she finds the minimum trip on the sharp side again today. Therefore, we turn to Moya's Dream, who showed a touch of class in Irish points before joining Noel Chance at the start of the season. Chance has an excellent record in bumpers and this daughter of Carroll House is fancied to put her experience to good use this afternoon.
