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.Sparkling Cone: Teeton Mill's stable-companion won at Towcester on his reappearance but has been set a mammoth task under top-weight.
Rightsaidfred: Winner at Plumpton and Folkestone but this is a step up in class.
Sounds Fyne: Second at Newbury last time and will appreciate this longer trip.
Folly Road: Does not look capable of making the step up in grade.
Oban: Not good enough on this season's form.
Ask Antony: Improving sort but he will find this tougher than the maiden chase he won at Hereford.
Kilmington: Finally got his act together at Plumpton but is up against it here.
Toni's Tip: A live prospect off bottom weight. Only a novice but he jumps well and is sure to stay.
Conclusion: The bottom weight, TONI'S TIP, who is a careful jumper and has conditions in his favour, looks the best choice. Sounds Fyne is the main danger.
