Today's racing tips and Newsboy Nap for Ludlow, Doncaster, Kempton and Southwell

KING OF STARS is the value call in the Betway Handicap at Southwell (2.05).

The Michael Appleby-trained sprinter benefited from a break when winning over course and distance last month.

After 29 days off the track, the four-year-old steps up in grade to tackle rivals including the in-form Mulzim and the 100-rated Lampang.

The light weight should help and if bring his A-game to the five-furlong contest, he has a sporting chance of victory.

Good to soft going at Doncaster is a welcome change for some runners and the pick in the Virgin Bet Handicap Hurdle is SUPAKALANISTIC (4.05).

Kept busy on the all-weather by Nigel Twiston-Davies, avoiding the worst of the ground, the son of Kalanisi has put in some excellent runs in jumpers' bumpers.

Still on a workable mark, he should be very competitive here with conditions to suit.
