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, heads to the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase, having previously shown a liking for the three-mile trip and good ground when winning at Carlisle, and now faces an increased weight of 5lbs to a mark of 100. Streamsforth Lad, despite placing in various hurdle races, a bumper, and a chase across 18 starts, is yet to secure a win and remains at a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou, who previously finished behind Scottish King over this course and distance, seeks to capitalize on his trainer's recent success, with a level-stakes profit of +298 over the last two weeks. Nicky Richards' remarkable run continues with Young Getaway making his chasing debut in the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, a year after his defeat over hurdles to That One, who also makes his bow over fences. That One, with Jack Power's 5lbs claim effectively lowering his mark to 105, and other runners, including Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper, fielded by the Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore combination, will be ones to watch. Grant Wood, trained by Paul Midgley, returns to Gosforth Park, where he has previously found success, while Wicket Keeper and Paddy's Day, wearing a tongue-tie for the first time, also feature in the lineup.
