Kernel Dowery, who has discovered the winning habit, can complete a hat-trick at Yarmouth tomorrow.

The Peter Harris-trained gelding lines up for the Street Construction Handicap over a mile and a quarter with Darryll Holland in the saddle.

Kernel Dowery, who had run up a frustrating sequence of 16 defeats, came good over this course and distance earlier in the month when beating Tinian by half a length.

That success must have boosted his confidence because the four-year-old went in again at Brighton recently when getting the better of Kirkham Abbey by one and a half lengths.

While he is in such good heart, Kernel Dowery is worth following. A successful hat-trick bid tomorrow looks a distinct possibility.

In The Pink deserves support in the Custom Kitchens Fillies' Handicap over seven furlongs.

Mick Channon's four-year-old, a winner at Goodwood two outings ago, was unlucky not to follow up at Doncaster last Saturday.

Attempting to come from last to first in a big field, she found her path blocked and, having been forced to switch to the wide outside, had to settle for the runner-up prize. Compensation is on the cards.

Night Of Joy should not be overlooked in the European Breeders Fund Maiden Fillies' Stakes.

Philip Robinson's mount showed signs of inexperience on her debut at Leicester earlier in the month, but she also displayed promising signs of ability before finishing fourth to Satin Kiss. Night of Joy can improve on that effort here over an extra furlong.

African Breeze carries the nap in the EBF Novice Stakes at Haydock.

Richard Whitaker's juvenile made it third time lucky over five furlongs at Redcar two weeks ago when justifying favouritism in workmanlike fashion.

She has more on her plate tomorrow but the step up to six furlongs should suit her and she is strongly fancied to deliver again.

Swynford Pleasure gets the vote in the opening Victoria Park Fillies' Handicap.

James Hetherton's eight-year-old normally comes into her own at this time of the summer and her latest effort suggested she was on the verge of returning to her best. Dale Gibson has the mount.

Legal Set is one horse who has already struck top form.

Successful at Hamilton two outings ago, he ran a blinder to finish fourth under a penalty at Doncaster last Saturday night. Legal Set is worthy of further attention in the Silver Cross Prams Handicap.

Interesting newcomer Balavista (4.20) and the in-form Dr Sharp (5.20) are two others to note at the Lancashire course on the opening day of its three-day fixture.
