Following an impressive eight-win streak, Nicky Richards is set to send three horses to Hexham for Monday's National Hunt action. Jamesieconn, seeking a fourth consecutive victory for the in-form Richards team, will participate in the Mick Walsh Open Ditch Handicap Chase.

Meanwhile, Streamsforth Lad, despite not having secured a win in 18 starts, is still ranked at 97 and may pose a challenge. Stuart Coltherd's Rightbackatyou, who recently performed well behind Scottish King, will also be participating. In the Anthony Woods Electrical Lightning Bolt Handicap Chase, Nicky Richards will be represented by Young Getaway, who is making his chasing debut.
