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 will be seeking a fourth consecutive victory for the in-form Richards team, who have been on a sensational run this spring. Having shown a preference for the three-mile trip and good ground when winning at Carlisle, Jamesieconn has been raised 5lbs to a mark of 100. Despite the additional weight, it would not be surprising if Danny McMenamin's mount rises to the challenge once again. Streamsforth Lad has placed in various events but is yet to secure a win, and will be looking to change this off a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou will be seeking to build on a recent impressive performance over this course and distance. Nicky Richards will also be sending out Young Getaway to make his chasing debut in the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase. This comes a year after his defeat over hurdles to That One, who will also be making his debut over fences. The Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore combination will be fielding two runners, including the ultra-consistent Heads Or Harps. Grant Wood, trained by Paul Midgley, will be returning to Gosforth Park, where he has enjoyed success in the past. Other notable runners include Wicket Keeper, Paddy's Day, and Albasheer, while Gardener will be seeking to build on a recent win over the course and distance in the Happy Retirement Maurice & Anne Barnes Handicap Hurdle.
