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.

Won well in an apprentice handicap at Goodwood when last seen a week ago, pulling 2 lengths clear of the field off this mark.
Has to back up quickly but retains the same rating and Alec Voikhansky gets the leg up again.
Should be hard 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.

9/1

Has been running well this season and posted a good effort over course and distance to be 4th in a big field last time out in a stronger race than this.
Isn’t badly treated off of 73 and should go well again under Tom Eaves.
