Nicky Richards Seeks to Extend Winning Streak at Hexham

Following a streak of eight consecutive wins, Nicky Richards is set to send three runners to Hexham for Monday's National Hunt action. Jamesieconn is looking to secure a fourth consecutive victory for the in-form Richards team, who have enjoyed a remarkable spring period with eight straight wins. Having shown a strong performance at Carlisle, Jamesieconn will be competing in the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase, although the added 5lbs to his mark may pose a challenge. Streamsforth Lad, despite not having secured a win in his 18 starts, has shown improvement and will be competing off a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou will be seeking to build on his recent performance, having finished behind Scottish King over the same course and distance. In the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, Young Getaway will be making his chasing debut, attempting to extend Richards' winning streak. That One, who will also be making his debut over fences, may benefit from Jack Power's 5lbs claim. The Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore combination will be fielding two runners, Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper, with the former having been consistently strong in recent starts. Grant Wood, trained by Paul Midgley, will be returning to Gosforth Park, where he has enjoyed significant success. Wicket Keeper, having secured two wins over six furlongs, will be competing in the same event, while Paddy's Day will be wearing a tongue-tie for the first time under Nigel Tinkler. Albasheer, a previous winner of the Constantine Handicap, will be ridden by Hollie Doyle. Gardener, who won his last outing over the course and distance, will be returning for the Happy Retirement Maurice & Anne Barnes Handicap Hurdle at 4:30 pm.
