Evening Angles: three to follow tonight 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, RPRs and, tonight's wild card, a significant one-trick jockey
Trainer form
What A Business
5.45 Newmarket
Angle: Jamie Osborne has a 25 per cent strike-rate (2-8) in the last fortnight
Jamie Osborne aims to keep the good run going with What A Business, who posted a promising all-weather debut second over 5f at Chelmsford last month.
What A Business is one of the main contenders in this big-field 6f novice auction stakes and although his form is only modest, he looks the type to do better over this trip. The presence of Nicola Currie, who rode those two winners for Osborne, in the saddle is another positive.
Ratings
Oromo
8.15 Clonmel
Angle: Comes out at least 2lb clear of his rivals on RPRs
Oromo is in the form of his life after finishing in the first two on three of his last four starts. He bolted up at Perth last month to open his account at the 36th attempt in all before chasing home an easy winner at Down Royal last week. In similar heart, he cannot be ruled out now he has got his act together.
Wild card
Smile A Mile
8.35 Newmarket
Angle: Jockey Silvestre de Sousa's only ride at the meeting
Champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa calls in at the Rowley Mile on the way home from York to ride Smile A Mile in the closing mile handicap. The Mark Johnston-trained three-year-old got off the mark on a recent comeback at Musselburgh and although this is a deeper race, the step up to a mile should suit.
