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.

2.40: Mr Percy was at big odds when winning a valuable handicap last Sunday because he had previously been heavily defeated by PRIDWELL. In retrospect, that form was no disgrace because Tony McCoy's mount is clearly in rude health. McCoy's rivals will be hoping, however, that Pridwell's former habit of refusing to co-operate reasserts itself. The ex-Reg Akehurst- trained Bimsey is best watched on his first run for a new stable.

3.10: LEOTARD gets a narrow vote. Venetia Williams's runner was the only one to get near Indian Jockey when the latter won on this track three weeks ago. Storm Alert, eight lengths back in third that day, is 6lb better in now.

3.40: PRINCEFUL has long had high expectations held for him. He went some way towards justifying them when a 10-length runner-up to the classy Shadow Leader at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Jenny Pitman, however, said recently that two and a half miles was probably his best distance, so punters should steer clear of short odds about the six-year-old today. The going should suit him better than Yet Again, winner of a slowly run event at Kempton last time.
