Value Scope: Each way horseracing tips from Steve Jones for Wednesday at York on ITV
There's going to be an Electric start to York's Ebor Festival. JORDAN ELECTRICS (1.50) might be in the veteran stage at nine-years-old but he showed the best form of his career when rattling up a Hamilton four-timer last summer.
He went on to finish second behind this year's Group 2 King George winner Jm Jungle in this race when attempting to give him nearly a stone in weight. Jim Goldie's speedster has only had two runs this season. He didn't run at all badly in the most recent of them in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood when drawn on the wrong side of the track.
His middle stall shouldn't be a problem this time. Have 1pt each-way at 10-1. Most bookies are paying out on five places with Sky Bet going seven.
Winning hurdler TERRORISE (4.10) loved the step up to 2m for the first time on the Flat when an impressive course-and-distance winner last month.
He travelled smoothly through that race and saw the distance out strongly. There's every chance he is still some way ahead of the handicapper and he could easily develop into a useful stayer.
His trainer Brian Ellison has snapped up Hollie Doyle to ride his lightly-weighted runner. Have 1pt each-way at 12-1. Most bookies are offering four places.
NOVAMAY (4.45) has hit form in some style in recent weeks. She rattled up a hat-trick of wins – all over 6f – during July but the way she travels suggests she could be even better returned to 5f.
When she was successful at Windsor three weeks ago she set a strong pace but was still able to hold off the challengers in the closing stages.
Like many of Michael Dods' runners, she wasn't at her best earlier in the season but there's no doubting about her wellbeing now. Have 1pt each-way at 16-1. Sky Bet is paying out on six places.
CHAIRMANFOURTIMES (5.20) came good at the fourth attempt in novice and maiden races. That victory over 5f at Pontefract was far from straight forward as he was caught wide from his high draw in the early stages.
He showed an impressive finishing kick to settle the race up the final climb to the line and his earlier form makes him nicely weighted for his handicap debut with excellent 7lbs-claiming apprentice Ashley Lewis in the saddle. Have 1pt each-way at 14-1. A couple of firms are going six places.

Sky Bet betting guide for Day 1 of the York Ebor Festival today - as thousands flock to the Knavesmire for a blockbuster seven-race card
More than 70,000 fans are expected to descend upon the York Racecourse for the highly-anticipated York Ebor Festival this week. For those who will be following the action closely - let's take a look at each of the races on Day 1 of the Festival today There are seven races scheduled to take place on the opening day - with the Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes the feature fixture. Hong Kong Jockey Club World Pool Handicap (13:50) The opening fixture of the day is shaping up to be a highly competitive sprint - with 20 thoroughbreds lining up over a five-and-a-half-furlong dash that is sure to whet the appetite of horse racing fans. Richard Spencer's The Man is the favourite to come away with the win in the first race of the meeting - with the Irish horse priced at 6/1. The Man looked strong at York in May, winning by more than two lengths from Loom. Meanwhile, for those anticipating the three-year-old to be upset - Jordan Electrics, Trefor and Air Force One are joint second-favourites at 15/2. Trefor has finished third or higher in each of his last four starts, including two wins. Meanwhile, Air Force One was victorious at York in late July, finishing first past the post in a five-furlong contest. Acomb Stakes (14:25) The Charlie Appleby-trained Distant Storm is an 5/4 favourite to win this Group 1 seven-furlong affair. Distant Storm impressed on debut at Newmarket in July - with the talented colt winning by a short-head from Aidan O'Brien's Constitution River. His victory at Newmarket bodes well - with the July maiden meeting throwing up six next-time-out winners. Therefore, if you're anticipating Distant Storm to win and win well - there are enhanced odds of 5/2 for the two-year-old to win by one or more lengths courtesy of a Sky Bet Price Boost. Meanwhile, O'Brien's Italy is considered the biggest threat when looking at the betting lines - with the Irish thoroughbred valued at 2/1. Italy has looked strong in two appearances in his career to date, winning on debut at Leopardstown before securing a second-place finish at Newmarket last time out. Lastly, Gewan rounds out the three favourites in the market with Sky Bet at 15/2 odds. Great Voltigeur Stakes (15:00) Heavy favourite Lambour is a BOOSTED 6/4 to win the Great Voltigeur Stakes. The three-year-old has looked extremely impressive in seven starts - winning five and claiming a second-place finish in another. He has particularly been in great form of late, with the thoroughbred finishing first past the post in each of his last three races - of which includes a win in the Irish Derby in June. Additionally, he won by more than three lengths in a Group One contest at Epsom a little over two months ago. Carmers, Arabian Force, Stay True and Mount Kilimanjaro are next in the market at 9/2, 8/1, 8/1 and 10/1 respectively. Meanwhile, if you're after a considerable outsider in the market - Pride of Arras is 11/1, while Thrice is the widest at 14/1. Juddmonte International Stakes (15:35) In what is the feature race of the day - six elite horses will compete over one mile and two furlongs in the Juddmonte International Stakes. John and Thady Gosden's Ombudsman is the best-backed with Sky Bet at 2/1 to reign supreme. If successful - it will mark the colt's sixth career win in eight starts, including an impressive outing in a two-furlong victory in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot in June. Delacroix is a 9/4 second-favourite, while Danon Decile is third in the market at 4/1 odds. Both Delacroix and Danon Decile enter Wednesday's race in fine form, with the former winning three of his last four, while the latter has been victorious in each of his last two starts. See The Fire, Daryz and Birr Castle round out the remainder of the field at 6/1, 10/1 and 80/1. Stayers Handicap (16:10) The Stayers' Handicap is one of the most highly-anticipated fixtures on Day One of the York Ebor Festival - with the gruelling two-mile contest oftentimes one of the most open fields of the meeting. That is tipped to be the case once again this year, with the three best-backed thoroughbreds barely separated in the betting lines. At the time of writing, Santorini Star is the shortest-priced at 9/2, closely followed by Dancing in Paris, Alphonse Le Grande and Terrorise - all of whom are 5/1. Alphonse Le Grande's most recent win came at Newmarket last October, while Dancing in Paris finished second last time out. Meanwhile, it is Dancing in Paris who has arguably been in the best form - winning back-to-back fixtures at Brighton and Goodwood in April and May. Heritage Handicap (16:45) Luna A Inbhir Nis is a 13/2 favourite with Sky Bet to win the Heritage Handicap, while Fluorescence is next at 7/1. Luna A Inbhir Nis has had an exceptional calendar year to date, winning six of eight starts. Additionally, the three-year-old boasts recent course form after securing a victory at York last month. Meanwhile, Fluorescence won at Redcar in a handicap in Redcar earlier this month. Nursery Handicap (17:20) Sky Bet are offering a Price Boost valued at EVENS (1/1) for this six-furlong contest - which requires Temple of Athena to secure a top six finish. For those interested in the above bet - Temple of Athenaa is the third-favourite in the market at 13/2 odds. Additionally, the two-year-old has had solid performances across her first two career starts - with the filly winning on debut before finishing third most recently. She is behind that of Utmost Respect and Dublin Bay in the market - with the duo the best-backed at 7/2 and 11/2 respectively. Utmost Respect won at Hamilton last time out, while Dublin Bay has won each of his last two fixtures.

Templegate's Tote Placepot tips for York Ebor Festival day 1 with huge £250,000 guaranteed
YORK'S Ebor Festival is racing's highlight this week with high class action and drama anticipated over the next four days. SunSport's Templegate is here with his Placepot tips, hoping to give you a lending hand towards a slice of the £250,OOO guaranteed pot! 1 The Placepot is a bet where you select a horse to be placed in the FIRST SIX races of any meeting. You can pick more than one horse in a race – you just multiply the number of selections in each race to calculate your stake. So for staking it's 2x2x2x2x2x2 which adds up to 64 lines. You can stake what you want upwards from 5p a line which would cost a total of £3.20. 10p a line is £6.40 and so on. Provided at least one in each race is placed, we get a payout! York Ebor Festival placepot tips - day one LEG 1: The Man, Trefor THE MAN routed 21 rivals over course and distance in May. He looked a different beast after a wind op and being gelded – travelling strongly and putting the race to bed with authority. Back from another break and drawn nicely in stall 4, he has the look of a well-treated improver. TREFOR has hit new heights this summer and ran a cracker at Windsor last time. He's consistent, handles the ground, and looks sure to give backers a run for their money at a price. LEG 2: Italy, Distant Storm ITALY can rule the roost in the Acomb Stakes. Aidan O'Brien's colt oozed class when unlucky not to land the Group 2 Superlative at Newmarket last time, staying on strongly after being squeezed up when it mattered. That was only his second start and he's bred to thrive over 7f on fast ground. With a smoother run, he's the one to beat. DISTANT STORM looked the part when getting up late at Newmarket on debut and the form is working out superbly but he had to dig deep to win, and this will ask more. LEG 3: Carmers CARMERS can put himself in the St Leger picture by upsetting the dual Derby winner. Paddy Twomey's unbeaten colt has done nothing but improve, and his gritty success in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot marks him out as a serious contender. That was over 1m6f and, while he drops in trip today, York's long straight suits strong stayers. He showed heart and gears at Ascot, kicking early and fending them all off. LEG 4: Ombudsman OMBUDSMAN can reverse Eclipse form with Delacroix. The Gosden colt was coming back just 17 days after winning the Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot and was sent for home a good way out at Sandown and was there to be shot at. A stronger gallop on York's galloping track will play more to his strengths. LEG 5: Santorini Star, Dancing In Paris SANTORINI STAR can shine for William Haggas. This Golden Horn filly has been brought along nicely this term, winning at Brighton and Goodwood before running with credit in a Group 3 over 1m6f. She finished off strongly there, suggesting this step up to 2m will unlock further improvement. Proven on quick ground, she's tactically versatile, and with her yard in flying form, she can progress again. DANCING IN PARIS brings top-class staying handicap form into this, including a near-miss in the Northumberland Plate and a strong second at Goodwood. LEG 6: Woolhampton, Fluoresence WOOLHAMPTON hasn't been at his best this season but has come down the weights, likes this trip and has what should be a good draw. FLUORESENCE got the job done nicely at Redcar last time and is right at home over this distance.
