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.Adair: Off course since finishing only 13th in the Derby. Formerly trained in the States, winning his only start in New York last year. Very hard to assess.
All The Way: Looked St Leger type when making the running but appearing to lack finishing speed in fifth behind Oath in the Derby. Off the course since.
Elmutabaki: Progressive and was most impressive at Royal Ascot, but limitations exposed behind Fantastic Light at York.
Iscan: Second to Mutafaweq at Ascot and then unlucky when a hampered second to Yavana's Pace at Goodwood. Stays well.
Mutafaweq: Kept on well at the death when fourth to Fantastic Light in the Voltigeur at York and earlier beat Iscan at Royal Ascot. Possibly below form in the Irish Derby in between.
Praslin Island: Still a maiden and hasn't a prayer on form.
Tchaikovsky: Supplementary for the race having changed stables since finishing third to Montjeu in Irish Derby (blinkered). Winning form on softish ground.
Noushkey: No match for Ramruma on three occasions this season, though ran very well when second to her in the Oaks. Fine winner of Lancashire Oaks but flopped at York last time.
Ramruma: Unbeaten this season and winner of Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks. Should relish the trip.
Conclusion: RAMRUMA has been on the go since April but has solid credentials. Noushkey is capable of shaking the favourite up if returning to her best, but Mutafaweq could provide the biggest danger.
