Nicky Richards Seeks to Extend Winning Streak at Hexham

Following a remarkable eight consecutive wins, Nicky Richards is set to send three horses to compete in the National Hunt events at Hexham on Monday. Jamesieconn, part of the in-form Richards team, will participate in the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase, seeking to secure a fourth consecutive win. Having recently won at Carlisle, Jamesieconn has been given a 5lb weight increase, which could potentially impact performance, but may still rise to the challenge under Danny McMenamin. Streamsforth Lad, despite not having won in 18 starts, has shown improvement and will compete off a mark of 97. Meanwhile, Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou will look to build on the recent success of his trainer, who has achieved a level-stakes profit of +298 over the last two weeks. In the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, Nicky Richards will send out Young Getaway, making his chasing debut, and facing That One, who also makes his bow over fences. Other notable competitors include Heads Or Harps and Choose A Copper, trained by Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, as well as Grant Wood, who has a strong record at Gosforth Park. Wicket Keeper, Paddy's Day, and Albasheer will also participate in the events, with Gardener returning for the Happy Retirement Maurice & Anne Barnes Handicap Hurdle.
