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.Bold Fact: Very useful performer under fast ground conditions. Ran eighth to Bold Edge over this distance at Newmarket first time out and, while possibly in need of that race, might appreciate the extra furlong here.
Tipsy Creek: Formerly a very fast, Royal Ascot-winning juvenile and still well up to Listed class. Third in a handicap on his seasonal debut and should be spot on now. A comfortable defeat of Bold Edge at Newmarket last season gives him leading claims.
Easy Dollar: On a long losing run, though not disgraced, when fifth to Bold Edge at Newmarket in April. Without a win since 1995.
Levelled: Decent sprint handicapper taking a rise in class. Defied top weight at Chester two starts ago and then a fair fourth under a penalty at York. Very genuine but has something to find here.
Night Shot: Progressive sprinter and acquitted himself well in fourth place behind Sampower Star in Group Three company at York last week when struggling to go the early pace but then staying on well. May prefer softish ground.
Rich In Love: Proved no match for the promising Presumed here (7f) last time and may be taken off her feet over this shorter trip.
Sarson: Speedily-bred and never out of the first two last year, winning at Sandown and then second in a Group Two at Goodwood. Could develop into a more than useful sprinter this season.
Conclusion: TIPSY CREEK has class and, after his good third first time out, should be ready to rumble here. Sarson is potentially a smart sprinter from the younger generation, while any softening of the ground would favour Night Shot.
