PIONEERTOWN ran well when taking a marked step up in trip for his handicap debut at Lingfield last month and he can register a first career success for a trainer with a 37% strike-rate (7/19) of late stepping up in distance once more. The selection can be given most to do by recent Wolverhampton winner Brandon Castle who was making a winning debut for this yard when successful on that occasion while Really Super can take on her second attempt at this trip.
