PACIFIC DE BAUNE can get his career back on track by registering a second victory at this course in this novice hurdle. The selection proved a disappointment upped in trip and grade last time out but a return to this venue can see him defy a penalty with useful Flat performer Kloud Gate capable of finishing runner-up on his hurdling debut. Antunes ran well on his first start in this sphere and can finish third today.
