Racing returns to the polytrack at Dundalk where patrons have eight races to work out. The Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund 'Rain God' Handicap worth 50,000 euro concludes the card.

Jessica Harrington 's dual-purpose gelding Steps To Freedom heads the market at 6/1 in this competitive 14-runner contest.
