Racing: Our Vic pulls in punters for Power play
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.The seven-year-old is now the clear favourite for Saturday's race with the sponsor and Ladbrokes at 3-1 and was trimmed to 7-2 from 4-1 by Coral, who have Monkerhostin as 11-4 favourite.
Brooklyn Breeze, another leading fancy, was the subject of an upbeat report from his jockey, Tony Dobbin. Len Lungo's eight-year-old is a 9-1 chance after winning a hurdle at Aintree on his seasonal bow.
Dobbin will put Brooklyn Breeze through his paces this week and is confident of his partner putting up a good display in the two-and-a-half-mile feature. "He had a good run at Aintree and is in fine form," the jockey said. "He's had a little wind operation and is obviously improving because of it."
Moscow Flyer, the two-mile champion chaser, figures among the entries for the Fortria Chase at Navan on Sunday. The Jessica Harrington-trained 11-year-old, who has won 19 of his 20 completed starts over fences, is one of 10 horses in the Grade Two contest. The only horse to have beaten him over fences - by a short head in the Champion Chase at the Punchestown Festival in April - is the Eamon Sheehy-trained Rathgar Beau. He is also among the entries for Sunday's race.
