Moorstone bolted up over course and distance last month. That was a big improvement on her debut at Southwell and she could close again, despite the extra 7lb, as she is related to several winners. But EARTH LADY is a full sister to one winning jumper and half-sister to two others. Her stable gets plenty of winners in races of this type so she gets the vote ahead of fellow newcomer No No Jolie, another bred for jumping, and Uttoxeter third Pearl Royale. Tangley won easily between the flags at Trebudannon in May so is another to consider.
