Evening Angles: trainer stats, RPRs and a potent partnership to note

Chelmsford: stages valuable meeting this evening

Tonight's meetings take place at Kempton, Chelmsford and Tipperary. 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 potent partnership . . .

Trainer form

King Robert
6.30 Chelmsford
Angle: Charlie Wallis has won with three of his last 12 runners

Charlie Wallis has his stable in decent form and King Robert could continue the winning momentum returning to a course which evidently suits him.

The six-year-old has finished in the first three on all but one of his five runs at the Essex all-weather course, winning twice, and is only 3lb above his last winning mark.

He is weighted to confirm course-and-distance form with Walk On Walter, who he narrowly beat in December.

Ratings

Fancy Feat
6.10 Tipperary
Angle: Clear of nearest rival by 8lb on RPRs

Although the race is open to an improver, Fancy Feat boasts the best form in the book with an RPR of 84, which is 8lb higher than Hamariyna.

That rival and Aidan O'Brien's duo of Simply Beautiful and Invitation will likely pose the biggest threat to the selection, but Fancy Feat's second behind high-class prospect Frosty at Dundalk is useful form.

She can be forgiven easily enough for her Listed flop at Navan and with first-time cheekpieces applied, the three-year-old could get off the mark at the fourth time of asking for her in-form trainer Jessica Harrington.

Wild card

Bacacarat
8.00 Chelmsford
Angle: Andrew Balding and Silvestre de Sousa have a 60 per cent strike-rate when teaming up at Chelmsford

Silvestre de Sousa has made a brilliant start in his role as retained rider for King Power Racing, particularly on the runners trained by Andrew Balding.

When Balding and champion jockey De Sousa have teamed up at Chelmsford, the pair have operated at an outstanding 60 per cent strike-rate. They have a couple of opportunities to enhance that tonight, and Bacacarat could be one who returns to winning ways.

He showed up well for a fair way of his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster but faded late on, so the drop back in trip to a mile should suit.
