Evening Angles: three to note at Windsor and Wolverhampton based on key 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 trainer's record with a first-time tongue-tie.
Trainer form
Magical Molly Joe
8.15 Wolverhampton
Angle: Trainer David Barron has a 38 per cent strike-rate in the last two weeks
David Barron is in great form with five of his last 13 runners on the scoresheet and targets further success with the hat-trick seeking Magical Molly Joe. All three of the mare's victories have come over course and distance and although up another 4lb, she holds leading claims with her yard firing on all cylinders.
Ratings
Gold Arch
5.30 Windsor
Angle: top rated in the field with a Racing Post Rating of 73
Gold Arch looks capable of following up a recent win on his seasonal and handicap debut at Wolverhampton in April. The form has been boosted with the second and fourth scoring since and a 5lb rise might not be enough to stop him going in again.
Wild card
Night Secret
6.30 Windsor
Angle: William Haggas has an eyecatching record with horses running in a first-time tongue-tie
William Haggas has an impressive 45 per cent strike-rate with horses running in a first-time tongue-tie over the last two seasons. The trainer equips Night Secret with the aid and the filly looks the one to beat with her form from last year working out well.
