Cheltenham Festival: Professional punter
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.YOU COULD take pounds 1 million to Cheltenham today and still come home with nothing - that's how hard this afternoon's card looks.
However, there is one horse I fancy today to win and that's LINDEN'S LOTTO in the Kim Muir.
He is a winner around the course and will stay every yard of the distance up the hill. There are a lot of horses in the race which can't possibly win and my horse has a competent rider booked.
Istabraq is impossible to get beat in the Champion Hurdle. I've been through the race and I just can't find one to beat him. However, at the odds, I'm not telling you anything worth knowing.
The rest of the card is very difficult. The races are extremely open and the favourites should start at fair prices as the on-course layers will be keen to get them all in the book.
