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.Effectual: Ran creditably in the Tote Gold Trophy and has each- way claims.
Sir Talbot: Live each-way prospect on his best form but the ground may be now against him.
Alabang: Made late headway on his reappearance at Sedgefield before blundering at the last but others are preferred.
Road Racer: Out with the washing at Doncaster over an extended two miles.
Dr Jazz: The only runner from Martin Pipe's four original entries, he showed plenty of promise when caught at the last by The Fly at Newbury and must go close.
In Question: Useful middle-distance performer on the Flat who holds Cheltenham Festival engagements. Worthy favourite, though he lacks experience.
Call My Guest: Fell when fancied in a handicap hurdle over an extra half- mile. Up in class.
Coulthard: Disappointing favourite for Doncaster handicap.
Regency Rake: Fifth last year and suited by soft ground but has shown no form this season.
Siren Song: No serious chance.
Samanid: Unreliable and likely to make mistakes.
Time For Action: A consistent servant in his own class but little chance here.
Conclusion: IN QUESTION ran his division of a Ludlow novice hurdle half a second faster than fellow winner Ballysicyos, and carried 17lb more. He is open to further improvement and can overcome his lack of experience. Dr Jazz looks sure to be in the shake-up.
