The eyes of the racing world turn to the historic Knavesmire this Wednesday as York's prestigious Ebor Festival continues with a stellar card, broadcast live on ITV. Our expert tipster has scrutinised the form to bring you the best value bets for a thrilling day of flat action.
Juddmonte International Stakes: The Day's Main Event
All eyes will be on the feature race, the Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes (3.35). This is a clash of the titans, with the brilliant ALFAADHEL (nap) looking to cement his status as a true superstar. Trained by the formidable John & Thady Gosden, this son of Galileo has looked imperious in his recent outings and is fancied to see off his high-class rivals.
Great Voltigeur Stakes: A Classic Trial
The Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes (3.00) often serves as a key trial for the St Leger at Doncaster. This year's renewal is wide open, but the vote goes to YASHIN (nb). This colt has been progressing nicely with each run and his powerful finishing kick could be perfectly suited to the long York straight.
Other Selections for the York Card
The competitive racing extends beyond the feature races. In the opening Sky Bet Handicap (1.50), STORMY ANTHEM is tipped to go well at an each-way price for the in-form team of Andrew Balding. Later on the card, the consistent BILLY WEBSTER is selected to land a blow in the 4.45 handicap.

- 1.50 York: STORMY ANTHEM (e/w)
- 3.00 York: YASHIN (nb)
- 3.35 York: ALFAADHEL (nap)
