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.

Was a very close second just 10 days ago and will look to go one better here today off the same mark.
That run came in a better race than this too so he's the clear fav and should be tough to beat.

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.

This three time previous course and distance winner looks well overpriced here and despite his current form, returning to this track and trip may just spark some sort of revival.
Stepping down in Class will surely help as well as being dropped a couple lb since his last run.
Blinkers go back on but this horse in fact won when wearing them for the first time so this looks a good move.
