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, part of the in-form Richards team, will be competing in the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase, chasing a fourth consecutive victory. Having previously shown a liking for the three-mile distance and good ground at Carlisle, Jamesieconn has been given a 5lb weight increase to a mark of 100, which may pose a challenge, but could still rise to the occasion under Danny McMenamin. Streamsforth Lad, despite having placed in various hurdle and chase events, is yet to achieve a win, and will be running off a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou will be seeking to build on his recent performance. Nicky Richards' remarkable winning streak will be put to the test as Young Getaway makes his chasing debut in the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase.
