Evening Angles: three to note 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 top trainer-jockey combo.

Trainer form

Battle Of Issus
8.50 Nottingham
Angle: Trainer David Menuisier boasts a 60 per cent strike-rate in the last two weeks

Battle Of Issus started David Menuisier's remarkable run of six winners from his last ten runners when a decisive winner at Hamilton. The form was boosted when runner-up Auxiliary won at York on Friday and with Silvestre de Sousa on board again in the 1m6f handicap, the four-year-old looks the one to beat.

Ratings

Kildorrery
7.30 Kilbeggan
Angle: Joint top-rated with a Racing Post Rating of 150

Reverting to hurdles after unseating his rider over fences last time, Kildorrery is on a handy mark relative to his chase rating in this 2m handicap hurdle. He won a maiden hurdle at the course last September and should make his presence felt with champion jockey Paul Townend in the saddle.

Wild card

Passing Nod
6.10 Windsor
Angle: James Doyle has a 30 per cent strike-rate when riding for William Haggas at Windsor

James Doyle and William Haggas will be teaming up at Royal Ascot later in the week – most notably with Sea Of Class in the Prince of Wales's Stakes – but before that they have a number of good chances at Windsor.

Passing Nod, the first of Haggas' runners, hails from a good family as a close relative to five-time winner Auspicion and looks an interesting newcomer in the 5f novice contest.
