Our Tips to Follow on Day 1 of Ebor Festival
NAP of the Day (14:25) - Ruling Court
Our NAP of the Day is the highly touted Ruling Court, a €2.3m purchase, impressed on debut, winning easily. He's expected to improve further stepping up in class.

Made an impressive return to racing at Catterick last week when dotting up easily over 6 furlongs in a low grade affair.
Gets in here with a 6lbs penalty, officially 1lbs well in and should make a good bid for a quick double.

Win Double Tip- Ruling Court (2.25 York) To Win & Los Angeles (3.00 York) To Win
Our Win Double Tip for the first day of Ebor, Los Angeles, a former Group 1 winner, showed his class with a gutsy Irish Derby win. Despite a penalty, his form is top-notch and he could challenge King’s Gambit for the win.
Ruling Court, impressive on debut, is expected to improve further stepping up in class.
Sorry, no tips are available today!
Dark Horse Tip (17:20) - Sex On Fire
Unlucky at Goodwood, showed promise despite a wide trip. Fresh and well-handicapped, a fast pace should suit.

Plenty of experience last season as a juvenile and chased home some decent types like Aomori City and Field Of Gold in Group races.
Has his sights majorly lowered for his seasonal return but looks on favourable terms with the favourite and can put in a decent effort.
