We are on the flat at Redcar, where the going is currently described as good to soft, and we are also over the jumps at Stratford, where it is currently riding good, good to firm in places.
Not What It Seems is our runner at Stratford, in the 0-120 handicap hurdle, over two miles and six furlongs, at 1.50.pm, where he will be partnered by Gavin Sheehan for the first time. Before succumbing to injury in February of last year, Not What It Seems was rapidly improving, but since his return in December he has struggled in his five subsequent starts, leaving him on a very attractive mark of 18lb below his highest BHA rating.
At Redcar, the two year old Sidney Stratton will make his racecourse debut at 2.17.pm, in the maiden stakes, over seven furlongs, where the colt will be partnered by Aiden Brookes. Sidney Stratton is the second produce of his unraced Dam to see the racecourse, as his half brother who only raced on four occasions, reached a very respectable BHA rating of 80. Sidney Stratton's sire is the 2019, 2,000 Guineas runner-up and Queen Elizabeth II winner King Of Change.
King Of Unicorns makes a quick return to the track, just eight days after failing to see out the extended two miles at York. King Of Unicorns will be having his third start back since returning from very nearly a year off the track, so he should be approaching full race fitness. Prior to injury, he was a bumper winner, and had good placed form on the flat and over hurdles. He runs at 5.37.pm, in the 0-70 apprentices handicap, over one mile and six furlongs, with Aiden Brookes taking the ride.
