Evening Angles: trainer stats, RPRs and course specialists for Wolverhampton

Using the Racing Post's unrivalled bank of stats, we pick out three horses to back tonight based on trainer form, Racing Post Ratings and, tonight's wild card, course form . . .

Trainer form

Blood Eagle
7.00 Wolverhampton
Angle: Andrew Balding has a 32 per cent strike-rate over the past fortnight

Andrew Balding has sent out eight winners from his last 25 runners and he runs three-year-old Blood Eagle, who has shown promise in his first two starts, at Wolverhampton.

This well-bred son of Sea The Stars stepped up from his maiden run to finish a good second last time.

Ratings

Another Reason
7.30 Wolverhampton
Angle: Well-in on ratings

L'Un Deux Trois has the highest RPR of the field but carries 9st 7lb, while Another Reason is rated 1lb lower but Luke Morris carries 8st 8lb, so the gelding looks to hold a great chance.

This Olly Murphy-trained runner was seventh on his only outing this season but this longer trip is likely to suit him much better.

Wild card

Ursus Belle
5.25 Wolverhampton
Angle: John Feane's Wolverhampton form

Irish trainer John Feane has an interesting runner at Wolverhampton in Ursus Belle, who is set to be raised 2lb for future handicaps.

She has shaped well on the all-weather at Dundalk and her trainer has a 22 per cent strike-rate when sending runners to the West Midlands track.
