Dundalk preview:Irish racing's new floodlit, all-weather future finally begins at the revamped Dundalk tomorrow where the appropriately named Speed Dream looks like having the honour of being the first winner at the country's newest course.

Almost €230,000 is available in prize money for opening day when almost 7,000 people are expected to cram into Dundalk to watch some of the top racing personalities in the country.

Messrs Kinane, Fallon and Murtagh will be in action out on the new polytrack riding horses from all the top yards including Aidan O'Brien who has Marcus Brutus in the opening five furlong race.

Speed Dream's 100 rating, however, is hard to argue with.

The big money pot, though, is the €75,000 MCR August Premier Handicap which looks a good opportunity for Celtic Dane to gain compensation for an unlucky run at the Galway festival.

Kevin Prendergast's three-year-old got no sort of run through the Tote Mile at Galway but still ran on noticeably well to take fifth behind Incline. The increased trip should not be a problem for Celtic Dane who can get the better of Vincenzio Galilei.

The other premier handicap over six furlongs sees a pair of 110-rated horses, Namaya and Osterhase, at the top of the weights. Although An Tadh has 10.5, he still gets 6lbs from the top ones, which combined with a good draw, should make him a major contender.

Solas Na Greine should be much happier on the faster surface in the seven-furlong maiden than she was on the heavy going of the Debutante Stakes earlier this month, while Sinndar's half brother Sinntaran can wind the day up with a winner in the three-year-old maiden.

Ruby Walsh can coax a hat-trick from Tory Hill Lad in the handicap chase at Ballinrobe as a 9lb penalty for winning at Tramore last weekend shouldn't stop Hannah Lee's horse.
