IGNORE Cryfield (3.50) at your peril in this afternoon's Sportingoptions Commission Cutters Stakes at Beverley.

Nigel Tinkler's representative has been a steady earner for his stable over the past few seasons by regularly chipping into the kitty courtesy of a win or two with each season that goes by.

Although Cryfield has yet to strike so far this term, he's performed perfectly satisfactorily on his most recent couple of starts, firstly at Yarmouth where the chunky gelding was touched off in thrilling nip-and-tuck finish, followed by a decent fourth placing in a far stronger event at Thirsk.

Jump fans have some excellent action to look forward to at Market Rasen, including the two-mile-and-six-furlong BIP Cylinder Technology Handicap Chase in which Pornic (4.10) is a viable possibility as a money-making venture.

Underrated Middleham handler Andy Crook has really sweetened up Pornic, a one-time thief with a predisposition for finding little or nothing at the business end of his races.

Thankfully that bad-boy reputation has now been well and truly consigned to the trash can on account of the ten-year-old chaser picking up two of his last four visits to the track.

Many of the flat jockeys, including Darryll Holland, are flying on from Beverley to Hamilton to take part in the competitive evening meeting at the hugely popular Scottish venue.

Better known as "Dazzles" to his weighing room colleagues, Holland has a terrific chance of scooping the feature contest on the card, the £15,000 Sky Bet Handicap, aboard Zeitgeist (8.20).

Luca Cumani's progressive three-year-old positively powered away from his rivals once given the green light over the final furlong at Redcar last time out, giving the impression there was much more to come from the long-distance Newmarket raider.

Cumani has the cheerful knack of getting his horses nicely in at the weights and Zeitgeist, a beautifully bred son of Singspiel out of Rainbow Quest mare, possesses the classic profile of a horse with bags of scope for further improvement.

The £8,000 two-year-old Redrow Homes Champagne Stakes has the appearance of race likely to throw up a decent juvenile or two.

Getting heavily involved in such affairs on a day-to-day basis can lead to financial suicide, nevertheless Mark Johnston enjoys nothing more than to introduce a smart youngster on home soil and his newcomer, Love Beauty (7.20), is probably worth a small interest.
