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.
Your support makes all the difference.DANGERUS PRECEDENT established his claims for the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival with a 10-length success over the same course and distance yesterday.
The only defeat suffered by the Charlie Egerton-trained chestnut in four previous starts was inflicted by the Triumph favourite, Katarino, at Prestbury Park in November and Egerton is not confident of gaining revenge on Nicky Henderson's runner.
"We will enter him for the Triumph and at the end of the day we would be stupid not to run in it," Egerton said. "He is good enough to run in it but I would be staggered if he was good enough to win it."
Ladbrokes and William Hill tend to agree, quoting Dangerus Precedent at 25-1 for the Triumph. Both firms have Katarino as their 8-1 favourite.
There was backing yesterday for the Eddie O'Grady-trained Impulsive Dream for the Ladbroke Hurdle a week today. He is now 12-1 (from 14-1) with William Hill and the same price (from 16-1) with Coral.
