TIINO Tino from David Pipe's in-form stable could be let in lightly for the partybet.co. Handicap Hurdle at Sandown (3.10).
The French importis highly regarded in the West Country yard and could follow in the footsteps of stable companions Desert Air and Tamarinbleu, who tok this in 2005/6.
Kaldouas looked an unlucky loser when tipping over last time and is on the same mark for Wincanton's 3.25 race for Paul Nicholls.
Limited Edition was fancied for a Cheltenham Festival tilte last March but things did not pan out. However, he Carl Llewellyn's charge can go close on his seasonal debut in the 3.45 at Sandown.
Unexperienced Moonhawk is pitched in at the deep end in the Tolworth Hurdle (2.40) at the Esher track but Howard Johnson has some very good yardsticks to judge him by and he could surprise some of the big guns.
