Value Scope: Each way horseracing tips from Steve Jones for Wednesday at York on ITV
In his indispensable column our expert points the way to the best each way advice for the first day of the York Ebor Festival and has four recommendations 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.

Bookies fearful of horse from Irish yard that 'always has trading floor on edge'
Tony Martin's Alphonse Le Grande is attracting plenty of support ahead of the opening day of York's Ebor Festival. The six-year-old was luckless at Royal Ascot and he is the favourite for the Sky Bet Stayers Handicap at 4.10 on Wednesday. The Juddmonte International is the feature contest on the Knavesmire on day one of the meeting, with Delacroix and Ombudsman clashing in a fascinating rematch. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Delacroix got the better of Charlie Appleby's Ombudsman by a neck in the Eclipse at Sandown last month and there's very little between them in the betting for Wednesday's Group 1 contest. The Tattersalls Acomb Stakes (2.25) sees another Coolmore vs Godolphin clash as O'Brien's Superlative Stakes runner-up Italy faces Newmarket maiden winner Distant Storm of team Appleby. O'Brien is also responsible for four of the seven runners in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes (3.00), including English and Irish Derby winner Lambourn, who looks set to go off the odds-on favourite. And Alphonse Le Grande is another Irish-trained runner that punters look set to get stuck into. The Cesarewitch winner was last of the 20 runners at the halfway stage during the Ascot Stakes last time out and was also denied a clear run towards the end of the race. However, he managed to finish eighth despite the traffic problems and was only 2¾ lengths behind the winner Ascending. With a clearer run this time around, he should have a huge chance under William Buick. Brian O'Keeffe, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said: 'It's a hot handicap but Alphonse Le Grande is top of the shortlist for plenty of punters after his eye-catching effort at Royal Ascot. Horses hailing from Tony Martin's yard always have our trading floor on edge and any further support could really turn this race on its head.'

Wednesday racing tips: Best bets and odds for day one at York's Ebor Festival
Wednesday's York Racing Tips Ombudsman (York, 15.35) – 1pt win @ 2/1 William Hill Lambourn (York, 15.00) – 1pt win @ 5/6 William Hill Brazen Bolt (York, 13.50) – 0.5pt each-way @ 12/1 Bet365 Wise Eagle (York, 16.10) – 0.5pts each-way @ 4/1 William Hill Woolhampton (York, 16.45) – 0.5pts each-way @ 18/1 Bet365 The Independent's horse racing correspondent Jonathan Doidge has had a solid record in major festivals, 9.82pts in profit in his outing at Glorious Goodwood, and he now turns his eye to Ebor Festival. Jonathan has made his betting tips using the best odds from the best horse racing betting sites. Here are his picks for day one at York. There's no finer racecourse in the world than York. It's four day Ebor Festival never disappoints and is up there with Royal Ascot as one of the best events on the Flat racing calendar. 15.35 York Racing Tips This year is no different and the feature on the opening day is, as ever, the Juddmonte International Stakes (15.35). This Group 1 contest that has seen some of the sport's great names such as Sea The Stars (2009), Frankel (2012) and Baaeed (2022) get their noses in front. It's a race where the season's top three-year-olds take on older horses and was officially rated as the best race in the world in 2024. The trainer of the two most recent three-year-olds to win it is Aidan O'Brien and, having not declared entrants Lambourn or Whirl, he relies on one representative, in key player Delacroix. The only blot on the son of Dubawi's copybook this term was his defeat in the Derby, when sent off as the favourite but patently did not act around Epsom. He certainly did handle Sandown in the Eclipse, where his jockey Ryan Moore was reported to have changed plans four times in the contest, before finishing with a wet sail to nab Ombudsman on the line. He would be a record-extending eighth winner to hail from Ballydoyle. There is clearly very little to choose between the pair and the Gosdens must think they have a decent chance of reversing placings, given that their Night Of Thunder colt was not quite at his best in the Eclipse. However, the four-year-old's impressive two length success over Anmaat in Royal Ascot's Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes, where he repeatedly could not find a gap before winning going away, was one of the best performances we've seen this season. Both Sandown and Ascot are stiffer tracks than the Knavesmire, which is like a billiard table and we're siding with Ombudsman to exact revenge. You can certainly argue that the Eclipse was not run to suit him and, with a Godolphin pacemaker entered in Birr Castle, he should get a nice toe into the race, if that runner is allowed to dictate. Unless they go to too fast, Ryan Moore is likely to want to make it a stiffer test by taking things on some way out. There's a fascinating race in prospect and you certainly can't discount Group 1 Sheema Classic winner Danon Decile, who raids from Japan, nor See The Fire. Wednesday Ebor Festival tip 1: Ombudsman (York, 15.35) – 1pt win @ 2/1 William Hill 15.00 York Racing Tips By the time of the day's feature, the Blue Riband winner Lambourn will have done his stuff, because he's been switched to the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes (15.00), where he drops to Group 2 company and faces six opponents, three of who are his stablemates. Aidan O'Brien looks to have found another good opportunity for the Chester Vase and Irish Derby winner, over his optimum trip. He'll be a short price but he has at least 5lb in hand on the rest of the field and more than that with all but one of them. It would be a surprise if he is beaten. Wednesday Ebor Festival tip 2: Lambourn (York, 15.00) – 1pt win @ 5/6 William Hill 13:50 York Racing Tips There was plenty to like about how Brazen Bolt did his job when seeing off a big field at Glorious Goodwood, in what were pretty grim conditions. His pilot, the very useful 5lb claimer Warren Fentiman, said he was worried about the slower ground there but he's back on what should be more solid ground in the Hong Kong Jockey Club World Pool Handicap (13.50) and, having won here over 5f on his penultimate start, we know he acts at the track. He's come back to much better form this season for his trainer, Ruth Carr and the extra half furlong might actually help to eke out a bit more. He could still be ahead of the handicapper and his double-digit odds on betting sites make him worth an each-way play. Wednesday Ebor Festival tip 3: Brazen Bolt (York, 13.50) – 0.5pt each-way @ 12/1 Bet365 16:10 York Racing Tips Trainer Adam Nicol has done a super job with his dual purpose performer Wise Eagle in recent seasons. Stamina is very much for forte of the eight-year-old, who gets 2m2f on soft ground in this code. The extended two miles of the Sky Bet Stayers Handicap (16.10) should be spot on for him and this consistent performer warmed up for it with one of his better turf performances last time out at Musselburgh, when he was fourth behind Kihavah in a race that looks very solid. He has won on good to firm ground, he's also won when fresh and in cheekpieces, so he has a few things going for him. This time he also sports a first-time tongue-tie and it could be a good time for us to get involved. He looks another sporting each-way play. Wednesday Ebor Festival tip 4: Wise Eagle (York, 16.10) – 0.5pts each-way @ 12/1 William Hill 16:45 York Racing Tips There's one other of interest on the card on day one and that comes in the IRE-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Fillies' Handicap (16.45). A big field has assembled for the race and some would say it's madness tipping when, at the time of writing, they go 8/1 the field. However, the Rod Millman-trained Woolhampton looks an interesting runner at a big price. The Camacho mare has yet to win this season and and one look at the horse racing results show she's not been at her best recently. However, she's now dropped 10lbs this term and you only have to go back to the form of her two Windsor runs in June to begin to think that she looks potentially well treated again. Her best two efforts have, admittedly, been on testing ground but she's also won when it's quick. She could make the long trip from Devon worthwhile if she can pick up some prize money and she is a sporting each-way suggestion with an intriguing 18/1 price available on betting apps. Wednesday Ebor Festival tip 5: Woolhampton (York, 16.45) – 0.5pts each-way @ 18/1 Bet365 Please gamble responsibly Bettors should always practice responsible gambling. When using gambling sites, be aware that sports betting can be addictive. Please take steps to remain in control of your time and budget. The same applies whether you're using new betting sites, slot sites, casino sites, casino apps, betting apps, or any other gambling medium. Even the most knowledgeable punter can lose a bet, so always stick to a budget and never chase your losses. It's particularly important not to get carried away by any free bets or casino offers you might receive, both of which are available in abundance on gambling sites, but must be approached with caution. You can stay in control by making use of the responsible gambling tools offered, such as deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion and time-outs.
