Lightly raced 4yo who returned a very useful RPR when taking a Windsor maiden (1m) around a year ago; subsequently gelded and he returned with a winning handicap debut over that C&D (also good to firm) 18 days ago; has some stamina in the family and this step up in trip should be no problem for this unexposed sort.
