Oneupmanship was engaged in the 2.33 Ffos Las yesterday and Moonamacaroona was declared for the 1.15 Huntingdon while Baddesley and Revasser are having a first run over the larger obstacles. Third on his chasing bow at Huntingdon, Smoking Pigeon got off the mark under Rules at the same track four weeks ago. LOVE ACTUALLY has done all of her winning so far at Taunton but she handled the step up to 3m and the switch to fences last time with aplomb and can defy a 4lb rise. Pass Me By is preferred to Kilfilum Woods and Reilly of the others.
