Nicky Richards Seeks to Extend Winning Streak at Hexham

Following an impressive eight consecutive victories, Nicky Richards is set to send three horses to Hexham for the National Hunt event on Monday. Jamesieconn will attempt to secure a fourth consecutive win for the in-form Richards team, who have enjoyed a remarkable spring period. Having demonstrated a preference for the three-mile distance and good ground at Carlisle, Jamesieconn has been assigned a new mark of 100 after being raised 5lbs. Despite the additional weight, he may still rise to the challenge under the guidance of Danny McMenamin. Streamsforth Lad, who has placed in various events but is yet to achieve a win, will also compete, while Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou seeks to build upon his recent performance. Nicky Richards will also enter Young Getaway in the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, as he attempts to extend his team's remarkable winning streak. That One, who will be making his debut over fences, is another notable competitor. The Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore duo will field Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper, with the former having shown consistent form in recent events. Grant Wood returns to his preferred course, where he has achieved significant success, and Wicket Keeper seeks to build upon his previous wins. Paddy's Day will wear a tongue-tie for the first time, and Albasheer will be ridden by Hollie Doyle. Gardener, who won convincingly last time out, will also compete in the Happy Retirement Maurice & Anne Barnes Handicap Hurdle.
