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.

Ask Tom is 3-1 favourite, from 7-1, with William Hill for the two-mile Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival next March following his head victory over the veteran Viking Flagship, who was running in the race for the fourth time, in the Tingle Creek Trophy Chase at Sandown on Saturday.

The favourite Klairon Davis, who jumped indifferently, was only fourth, behind third-placed Or Royal.

Ask Tom and Viking Flagship will now clash in the Castleford Chase at Wetherby on 27 December.

William Hill bet: 3-1 Ask Tom, 100-30 Viking Flagship, 7-2 One Man, 9- 2 Klairon Davis 7-1 Mulligan, 10-1 Or Royal, 14-1 Squire Silk, 20-1 Call Equiname, 33-1 Arctic Kinsman, Celibate.
