Nicky Richards Seeks to Extend Winning Streak at Hexham

Following an impressive eight consecutive wins, Nicky Richards is set to send three runners to Hexham for Monday's National Hunt action. Jamesieconn, chasing a four-timer, will be one of Richards' entries in the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase. Having shown a liking for the three-mile trip and good ground at Carlisle, Jamesieconn has been raised 5lbs to a mark of 100. Despite the added weight, Danny McMenamin's mount may still rise to the challenge. Streamsforth Lad, yet to claim a win in 18 starts, will also be competing, while Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou looks to build on a recent performance. Nicky Richards' Young Getaway will make his chasing debut in the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, attempting to extend Richards' remarkable winning run. Other notable entries include That One, making his bow over fences, and the Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore combination's Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper. The Paul Midgley-trained Grant Wood returns to Gosforth Park, where he has enjoyed success in the past, and Wicket Keeper seeks to build on previous wins over six furlongs. Paddy's Day dons a tongue-tie for the first time, while Albasheer returns with Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle in the saddle.
