Racing: Hyperion's TV Tips
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.

2.40: The cosy two-length margin of victory for SLASHER JACK at Edinburgh two weeks ago could well have been doubled, so a 3lb rise in the weights should not stop Steve Norton's gelding. First time out is proving the wrong time to back a Richard Hannon runner, so Art Tatum appears less of a danger than the unexposed Jabaroot.
3.10: HAWAJISS clocked one of the fastest speed figures by a juvenile last season when winning a Group race at Doncaster, only to disappoint at Ascot on softer ground next time. Her best run suggests she should prove superior to these opponents. State Crystal won on much softer ground last autumn and the form has not worked out well.
3.40: Four previous winners of the Chester Cup line up today, but they may have to make way for a fifth to join their ranks in the shape of ELAINE TULLY, who has improved over hurdles all winter and transferred that progress to the Flat last time out. The Cesarewitch winner Aahsaylad has been also been jumping, but without the same success. Ritto, second at Newmarket last autumn, returned impressively this spring, but has been raised 10lb and has yet to tackle fast ground.
4.10: EBONY BLAZE would not appear leniently treated for his first run in a handicap, but showed potential when sixth in a smart 15-runner field at Newmarket. Geoff Lewis, whose stable is running into form, will produce this gelding a lot sharper today. Brave Edge looks vulnerable under his penalty.
