Travelled smoothly into contention and stylishly justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) for a promising debut; now goes in tongue-tie; plenty to find on bare ratings but brings potential. |

£90,000 2yo; second foal; dam unplaced in bumpers, half-sister to three winners notably Bitofapauzzle (useful bumper and 2m3f-2m7f hurdle/chase); trainer does very well in mares' bumpers; could play leading role on debut. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
0-10 but she ran well when second here (2m3f, good) in March and rallied for a respectable fifth at Taunton (good) three weeks ago on her first crack at 3m; shaped last time as though today's extra yardage could be in her favour and she might be in the mix. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden but she's a reliable sort, runner-up at Hereford (2m4f, good) last time, and looks worth a crack at this sort of trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Not beaten far in any of her hurdles, latterly in two handicaps, shaping better than the bare result on both occasions, latest at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December when losing her pitch leaving the back straight before staying on again; one to consider off 3lb lower. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Jumped stickily and hung left on June's hurdling debut, but back on track with a facile Worcester win latest (2m, good), over 7l ahead of La Lolita eased down; no shortage of encouragement for longer trips in pedigree (half-sister won three 2m4f-3m hurdles for these connections). |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Dual good-ground bumper winner, latterly at Hexham in May; lacked fluency and was very disappointing when switched to hurdling in early June but it won't be a surprise if she fares considerably better here. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |

Bumper/hurdles winner who has posted mixed results since switched to chasing, best effort when third at Warwick (2m4f, good) on penultimate start; mistake contributed to her defeat there latest; still quite unexposed over this distance and not written off. |
15/8 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Bumper and novice hurdle winner; 0-4 as a chaser but best form yet in this scene when a 3l fourth over C&D four weeks ago and entitled to build on that. |
7/4 |

3rd 2 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Bumper and novice hurdle winner who is in top hands and has dropped down the weights; could rebound at some stage but she needs to produce more than she's managed on her first three chase starts. |

Dual 2m4f hurdle winner last June and she's held her from well since, most recently back from a 151-day break when a 2.5l second at Hereford 18-days ago ridden by Aimee Jones; likely to make her presence felt again off an unchanged mark. |

About 11l fourth to Betty's Daisy at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) on second start over hurdles; a bit better when coming from the rear for sixth of 12 at Market Rasen (near 2m5f, soft) on latest, which isn't the most persuasive evidence but this handicap debut should give her a better chance. |

Verdict
Dan Skelton’s CLAIM DU BRIZAIS finished third at Aintree in a race that’s worked out well and she looks the one to be with. A formline through the winner of that race gives Fresh As A Daisy every chance of bustling up the selection. The newcomers Blue Betty and Elusive Feeling need a second look.[Alistair Jones]
