Nicky Richards Seeks Continued Success at Hexham with Trio of Runners

Following an impressive eight consecutive wins, Nicky Richards is set to field three horses at Hexham for Monday's National Hunt races. Jamesieconn, chasing a fourth straight victory, leads the charge for Richards' in-form team. This seven-year-old has shown a preference for three-mile trips on good ground, as evident in the recent win at Carlisle, and will now face an increased weight of 5lbs, bringing his mark to 100. Despite this added weight, Jamesieconn, ridden by Danny McMenamin, may still prove to be a formidable opponent. Streamsforth Lad, although yet to secure a win in 18 starts, has shown promise with multiple placings across various disciplines and retains a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Rightbackatyou, trained by Stuart Coltherd, who has seen significant profit over the past fortnight, looks to build on recent performance. Nicky Richards also enters Young Getaway into the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, marking the horse's chasing debut. That One, another chasing debutant, faces off against Young Getaway, with Jack Power's 5lbs claim potentially offering an advantage. The Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore partnership presents Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper, with the former demonstrating consistent form of late. Grant Wood, trained by Paul Midgley, returns to Gosforth Park, a course where he has enjoyed considerable success. Wicket Keeper, having found success over six furlongs, looks to replicate this form over a different distance. Paddy's Day dons a tongue-tie for the first time under Nigel Tinkler, while Albasheer, a past Constantine Handicap winner, is ridden by Hollie Doyle. Gardener, having won convincingly last time out, returns for the Happy Retirement Maurice & Anne Barnes Handicap Hurdle.
