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.Almushtarak: Regularly performs well in high-class company but yet to win a Group One race. Third to Cape Cross and Docksider here at the Royal meeting and also third in the Sussex Stakes. Strong finisher.
Dubai Millennium: Beaten only once, when below par in the Derby, and has scored impressively twice since in France - most recently making all from Slickly at Deauville. Huge horse who is best with cut in the ground.
Gold Academy: Well-beaten third to Sendawar and Aljabr over course and distance at Royal meeting but returned to winning form recently at York. Very useful but needs to improve again.
Balisada: Finished strongly to land the Coronation Stakes over course and distance at the Royal meeting but limitations exposed when fourth in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in July. Freshened since.
Conclusion: DUBAI MILLENNIUM has impressed in his French forays and with no other front-runner in the line-up he should be able to dictate the pace.
