Nicky Richards Seeks to Extend Winning Streak at Hexham

Following a remarkable eight consecutive wins, Nicky Richards is set to send three horses to Hexham for Monday's National Hunt racing. Jamesieconn, seeking a fourth consecutive victory for the in-form Richards team, will participate in the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase. Having demonstrated a preference for three-mile distances and good ground when winning at Carlisle, Jamesieconn has been raised 5lbs to a mark of 100. This added weight may pose a challenge, but it would not be surprising if Danny McMenamin's mount prevails once again. Streamsforth Lad, despite placing in various events, is yet to secure a win and remains at a mark of 97 after showing improvement at Bangor. Stuart Coltherd, who has achieved a level-stakes profit of +298 over the last two weeks, will be represented by Rightbackatyou, who previously performed well over this course and distance. Richards will also be represented by Young Getaway, who makes his chasing debut in the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase. Never miss the latest racing news and updates on your phone. That One will also be making his debut over fences after a disappointing performance at Newcastle. The Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore partnership will field two runners, Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper, with the former having shown consistency in recent events. Grant Wood, trained by Paul Midgley, returns to Gosforth Park, where he has enjoyed success in the past. For the latest horse racing news, visit Sky Sports Racing. Wicket Keeper, having won twice over six furlongs, finished fourth in his latest outing and will be seeking improvement. Paddy's Day will wear a tongue-tie for the first time under Nigel Tinkler, while Albasheer returns with Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle. Gardener, having won convincingly over the course and distance, will participate in the Happy Retirement Maurice & Anne Barnes Handicap Hurdle at 4:30 pm.
