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.

Danetime, an unlucky fast- finishing second in the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot, dominated opening shows of betting on the Stewards' Cup after publication of the weights yesterday

Michael Tabor's three-year-old, set to carry 8st 7lb, is a top-priced 12-1 favourite with Coral for the pounds 75,000 handicap on 2 August.

Bookmakers are taking no chances with the colt, who was the subject of a major gamble - backed down to 7-1 favourite at the off - before going down by just a head to Selhurstpark Flyer in the Wokingham after failing to obtain a clear run.

Neville Callaghan, Danetime's trainer, is likely to give him a race next week in preparation for the six-furlong contest. He said: "I haven't made the entry yet but Danetime will probably run at Newmarket."

Ladbrokes: 8-1 Danetime, 16-1 Bishops Court, Blue Goblin, Bollin Joanne, Coastal Bluff, Perryston View, 20-1 Clan Chief, Oggi, Prince Babar, Surprise Mission, 25-1 bar.

William Hill: 10-1 Danetime, 14-1 Bishops Court, Blue Goblin, 16-1 Bollin Joanne, Clan Chief, Coastal Bluff, Cosmic Prince, Double Bounce, Oggi, 20-1 Elfland, Selhurstpark Flyer, Tayseer, To The Roof, Tumbleweed Ridge, Warning Time, 25-1 bar.

Coral: 12-1 Danetime, 14-1 Bishops Court, Blue Goblin, Bollin Joanne, 16-1 Clan Chief, Oggi, 20-1 bar.
