Nicky Richards Seeks Continued Success at Hexham with Trio of Runners

Following a streak of eight consecutive wins, Nicky Richards is set to field three horses at Hexham for Monday's National Hunt racing. Jamesieconn, chasing a fourth straight victory, will be part of the action, having previously shown a preference for the three-mile distance and good ground when winning at Carlisle. Now with a 5lb increase to a mark of 100, it remains to be seen if this added weight will hinder performance. Streamsforth Lad, despite 18 starts without a win, has shown improvement and remains on a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou looks promising after a recent performance behind Scottish King. Nicky Richards' remarkable run may continue with Young Getaway's chasing debut in the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase. That One, making his first start over fences, could benefit from Jack Power's 5lb claim, reducing his mark to 105. Other notable entrants include Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper from the Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore stable, and Grant Wood, returning to Gosforth Park where he has a strong record. Wicket Keeper and Paddy's Day also feature, with the latter wearing a tongue-tie for the first time under Nigel Tinkler, and Albasheer returns with Hollie Doyle. Gardener rounds out the field, seeking another win in the Happy Retirement Maurice & Anne Barnes Handicap Hurdle.
