It will be interesting to see if there is market support for the returning Mudita Moment as his stable is in good form but STAGE KING, held up well off the pace here earlier in the month, should do better now tackling handicaps and will have the champion doing the steering today. He gets the nod in a modest opener though Lightentertainment has hinted at ability and has more scope than Mighty Mambo, who weakened quickly at Plumpton last time.
