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.Selhurstpark Flyer: Splendid front-runner who, despite advancing years, is better than ever.
Fire Dome: May develop into Group horse and is well handicapped.
Nigrasine: Winner over seven furlongs and has speed for this. Exposed.
Eastern Purple: Runaway winner at Haydock in May and fair fifth at Newbury on latest start.
Gaelic Storm: On a hat-trick following victories at York and Newcastle. Progressive type. Chances.
Proud Native: Successful over five furlongs at Doncaster in March but "duck eggs" for form figures since.
Superior Premium: Third (and best of far-side group) in Wokingham at Royal Ascot and has won twice since. Should run a big race.
Dancethenightaway: Finished fast in the Wokingham. Inconsistent.
Triple Hay: Course-and-distance scorer in May and made bold show when fourth at Newbury recently.
Double Action: Was never going in the Wokingham. Likes cut.
Nuclear Debate: Fast-improving sprinter from shrewd yard. Consider.
Surveyor: Unlucky third at Newbury last time. Open to improvement.
Qilin: Well-beaten third in listed race at York. High in the weights.
No Extras: Three times a course winner between six furlongs and a mile and looks tuned up for this. Strong finisher from stable in form.
Bold Effort: Fair eighth in the Wokingham and then got up in the last stride at Sandown (stiff 5f). Often runs well in this type of race.
Night Shot: Consistent sprinter, successful on softish ground.
Literary Society: Looked in need of this trip at Ascot (5f) last time.
The Gay Fox: Held by several rivals. Gets behind in early stages.
Harmonic Way: Strongly-run six furlongs should suit but held by the handicapper.
Rudi's Pet: Well beaten recently.
Jayannpee: Getting on but won at Bath two starts ago. Course winner.
Masha-Il: Beat 23 others over course and distance in June with four of today's rivals behind.
Lamarita: Good third at Epsom in June but hangs under pressure.
Stand Tall: Useful round the gaffs but yet to run well at this grade.
Always Alight: Has run respectably in big handicaps. Tough.
Sharp Hat: Must improve.
Sylva Paradise: Fourth at Ascot (form working out well) on last start.
Distinctive Dream: Disappointing here last month.
Kilcullen Lad: No chance with winner when second last time. Speedy.
Ansellman: Hardy veteran who seems better in claimers nowadays.
Conclusion: FIRE DOME could be a Group horse in a handicap.
