Nicky Richards Seeks to Extend Winning Streak at Hexham

Following an impressive eight consecutive wins, Nicky Richards is set to send three horses to Hexham for the National Hunt event on Monday. Jamesieconn will be competing in the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase, seeking a fourth consecutive victory for the in-form Nicky Richards team. Having won at Carlisle recently, Jamesieconn has been given a 5lb weight increase to a mark of 100, which may prove to be a challenge. Streamsforth Lad, despite having placed in various races, is yet to achieve a win and will be competing off a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou will be racing after a recent second-place finish over the same course and distance. Nicky Richards will also be entering Young Getaway into the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, marking the horse's debut in chasing. That One will also be making a debut over fences, with Jack Power's 5lb claim potentially giving the seven-year-old an advantage. Other notable entries include Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper from the Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore combination, as well as Grant Wood, who has a strong record at Gosforth Park. The day's events will also feature Wicket Keeper, Paddy's Day, and Albasheer, among others.
