Newsboy's horseracing tips for Tuesday's five meetings including Epsom Nap

KING’S CODE (2.45, NAP) can follow up an emphatic success at Pontefract to land the historic City & Suburban Handicap at Epsom’s first meeting of the year today. Dave Evans’s handicapper scored on the all-weather in December and held his form in five more runs on the synthetic.

So he was plenty fit enough for his return to turf and had put seven lengths between himself and Forceful Speed in the final furlong at the finish line. It was the highest handicap mark he has won off to date and on that evidence a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop him.

Later on the card YOUR LORDSHIP (4.25, NB) can atone for a narrow defeat at Southwell in a valuable novice event in March.

The colt is a choicely bred son of Lope De Vega whose relatives include St Leger winner Masked Marvel and the Arc winner Waldgeist.

He was coming back from a five month absence at Southwell and had to be switched at a vital time in the race, doing particularly well to close the gap on the winner to a nose at the post.
