12/5

A horse who's rapidly improving and looks the one to beat here for a team bang in form so far this festival.

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.

43/5

Days: 25
Doesn't have bad form at this track so a return here may suit and jockey Billy Loughnane is back on board as he's only ridden this horse one before when finishing a close third.
Also weren't beaten far despite the finishing position when last seen at Royal Ascot and the return to 6 furlongs should help.
