Confidence behind winning burst of Rage
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.Weights were published yesterday for the seven handicaps at the Cheltenham Festival with a total of 485 horses being assessed. The largest entry is 101 for the Coral Cup, with David Nicholson's Castle Sweep heading the weights on 12st 3lb.
The sponsors make Malcolm Jefferson's improving six-year-old Tullymurry Toff (10st 13lb) their favourite on 10-1.
Star Rage, who attempts back-to-back wins in the County Hurdle, has been allotted 11st 1lb. Jimmy Harris's charge will renew rivalry with Shining Edge on 2lb better terms than at Doncaster on Saturday when the latter just came out on top. But Harris is confident of reversing the placings: "He's better in a strongly run race and he loves Cheltenham's stiff finish."
