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.

Weight: 11-2

Has run well in his two bumper outings to date, coming 2nd and 3rd.
Both of those efforts came on very testing ground and he’s just not quite seen out his race.
Might just appreciate the switch to quicker ground and has improved with each run. Can get off the mark here.

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.

Looks a big price coming into this in decent form in similar contests. Winning at Wolverhampton before coming a close 4th at Southwell off an elevated mark.
Has placed at this venue previously and connections put a 3lbs claimer in the saddle.
Can go well again from off the pace.
