Des Byrne Memorial Maiden

Dundalk (AW) · 20:15 · Friday, 23 October 2026 · 1m2f150y · Standard

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a mid- to late-running tempo with Sakoku emerging as the strongest contender, having shown consistent headway and finishing in the top three in three of his last three runs, including a second at Navan under 2f out and a fourth at Dundalk where he stayed on well. His recent form, combined with a strong RPR of 86 and a draw of 13, suggests he is the most complete in terms of pace and positioning, making appeal in a field where several runners struggle to maintain rhythm over the 1m2f150y. The main danger comes from Trustmore, who ran second at Dundalk last time and has shown resilience in staying on from 2f out, while Kanzashi, making his first appearance in a handicap, presents a notable each-way value with a low RPR and a clean start from the top draw.
