Evening Angles: three runners to note based on Racing Post stats

Using the Racing Post's unrivalled bank of stats, we pick out three horses to back tonight based on trainer form, course jockeys and, tonight's wild card, a top trainer-jockey combination . . .
Trainer form
Starkers
8.40 Wolverhampton
Angle: Tom Clover's form
Clover has had three winners from his last eight runners and sends two to Wolverhampton, including debutante Starkers.
The three-year-old makes is the first foal of a maiden half-sister to US winner Tailoredforsuccess, who is from the family of Oaks heroine Casual Look, and is worth watching in the market.
Course jockey
Jumira Bridge
7.30 Windsor
Angle: Silvestre de Sousa's record at Windsor
De Sousa boasts a 20 per cent strike-rate at Windsor and takes three rides tonight, with Jumira Bridge his best chance of success.
The five-year-old responded well to a wind op when winning at Sandown last time and has only been raised 4lb for that success.
Wild card
Lafilia
7.10 Wolverhampton
Angle: Luke Morris and Archie Watson's combined strike-rate
Morris and Watson have a 32 per cent strike-rate when pairing up at Wolverhampton. They combine with two rides this evening and Lafilia looks like their best chance.
The daughter of Dubawi has benefited from blinkers in her last two starts and was beaten by only half a length last time. She is dropped in class today and looks capable of a big run.
