However this form was over hurdles and Salvator Mundi did falter slightly over fences recording a 2nd, 6th and then his first win over fences at Thurles in February but that race was by no means outstanding in fact no horse in that...]]></description><link>https://www.darkhorsetips.com/post/day-3-grand-national-festival-11-04-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d95d5bf6703ec22beaea70</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:22:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e37926_0b017a7b40a94bec831fb1336c5524f8~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_782,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Dark Horse</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Day 2 Grand National Festival 10/04/2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[1:45 Aintree Trustintimes 0.25pt E/W 5 places 14/1 generally:  The first of many large field races today. I have been quite stumped by this race. The top two in the betting do make sense. Indeevar Bleu (9/2) has 4 wins from 7 runs including a win at Aintree on Boxing day, he does return from a 105 day break so should be fresh for this and he is effective over this distance, perhaps he'd do better on softer ground but at good to soft there shouldn't be too much concern.

Maestro Conti has shown us he's all class with 3 wins and a 2nd in 4 runs and he is the hope for Harry and Dan Skelton who you can have plenty of faith in to run a great race. Selma De Vary has slightly more scattered form but has always been at the top of the field and with Paul Townend on board for Willie Mullins you've got to give her some...]]></description><link>https://www.darkhorsetips.com/post/day-1-grand-national-festival-tips-09-04-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d7878ec55f668b5306c7f5</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 12:39:58 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>The Dark Horse</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Monday Tips 06/04/2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[2:40 Fairyhouse Majolique, Proactif 1pt REVERSE FORECAST: We haven't got a lot of form to analyse for this race with it being for juveniles but it's hard to argue with the two horses at the head of the market: Majolique (15/8 generally, 2/1 in places - William Hill) and Proactif (9/4 generally). Majolique has two wins to her name one win on the flat at Longchamp and one over hurdles at Naas which was a listed race. She looks to be a classy horse and this rise in grade should be in her...]]></description><link>https://www.darkhorsetips.com/post/monday-tips-06-04-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d2e9af84368b484103d1af</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2026 23:56:07 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>The Dark Horse</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sunday Tips 05/04/2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[2:40 Fairyhouse Koktail Brut 1pt E/W 3 places 14/1 generally: It's hard to argue with the odds on favourite Leader d'Allier (5/6, 8/11 in places) in this race (good winning and place form, Paul Townend on board) however there just doesn't seem to be the value to back Leader d'Allier especially considering he doesn't have much hurdling experience. Instead I fancy my chance with a bit more of an outsider Koktail Brut. Koktail Brut has good form at Fairyhouse (2 wins/2 runs) and appears to act...]]></description><link>https://www.darkhorsetips.com/post/sunday-tips-05-04-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d18174ab0f3644b416f75e</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 22:22:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>The Dark Horse</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
