Limerick preview Dermot Weld has three horses making their debuts in Limerick on Friday and all look to have chances. Stay De Night is first up in the Croom House Stud Maiden over a mile. This three-year-old Shamardal gelding races in the Moyglare Stud Farm colours. Paul Deegan also introduces newcomer Youm Momayez. Of those with experience, Kodiac's Back showed up well for a long way in Limerick before finishing fourth. Aidan O'Brien's Toscanelli has the advantage of a previous outing over Weld's Innish Man in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for two-year-olds. Toscanelli holds an entry in the National Stakes and was sixth of 10 in a Leopardstown maiden won by Convergence earlier this month. David Wachman's Soebroto was a beaten favourite first time out in Limerick and is Group Two-entered. He has a visor fitted for this race. The Aga Khan's Akiliyna completes the Weld runners when she goes for the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund (Fillies) Maiden over an extended mile and three. This daughter of Holy Roman Emperor faces a challenge from 89-rated filly Red Raven who missed an engagement at Navan last week due to being in season. She hasn't run since finishing a close-up third at Navan in October to subsequent Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Marvellous. Kabjoy bids to get her head in front after three runner-up finishes in a row. Liz Doyle's Doonard Prince has the best recent form on offer in the limerickraces.ie Handicap. With a win in Naas and a second place at the Curragh banked, jockey Ross Coakley will be hopeful of another good display from his mount. Calle Aneto tries to make it two wins this week in the apprentice handicap. Having scored in a similar race at Sligo on Tuesday evening he runs with the mandatory 5lb penalty and is partnered by Katherine O'Brien again. The Ballyduane Stud Handicap appears to be a fiendishly competitive affair. Hatton Cross who was a half length second to Pixie Spirit over course and distance would not need to improve much to be on the premises. Mourad runs in the qualified riders' race after contesting Graded hurdles on his last two outings. Marchese Marconi and hat-trick-seeking Gusty Rock provide testing opposition.
