Two-year-old fillies Anamba, Mimicking and Mrs King make their Pattern debuts in the Group Three C L & M F Weld Park Stakes over seven furlongs at the Curragh, Ireland, on Sunday, September 27.
Sharmadal filly Anamba (Michael Halford/William Buick) enjoyed a successful debut in a Leopardstown maiden over the same distance on September 12, when she rallied well to beat Coolmore by a head.
Mimicking (Jim Bolger/Kevin Manning) was fifth on good going in a six-furlong Naas conditions race on August 3 but ran a better race on heavy ground when finishing a close second in a similar contest over a furlong shorter at the Curragh on May 4.
The daughter of Invincible Spirit scored on her debut with a comfortable success in a maiden, also over five furlongs at the Curragh on yielding ground, on April 19.
Mrs King (Jim Bolger/Rory Cleary) made most of the running to take an extended seven-furlong maiden by four and a half lengths at Tipperary on July 11.
The Dubawi filly showed signs of inexperience on her first start in a six-furlong maiden at the Curragh on May 23, in which she finished 10th.
Michael Halford reported: "I have been very pleased with Anamba since her win and she seems to have come forward for that run.
"She was quite green when she hit the front that day and I am hopeful that there is more to come from her, although it is a competitive race.
"The track and ground should suit. There's a dry forecast and hopefully, there will be more good than yielding in the description."
Jim Bolger said: "We were a little disappointed with Mimicking's run at Naas but the going will be a bit easier for her on Sunday so I am hoping that she will get back to her best form.
"Mrs King won her maiden well at Tipperary and I am hoping that she will give a good account of herself."
Anamba, Mimicking and Mrs King meet seven other juvenile fillies including Kind Of Magic, How High The Moon, Leafy Shade and Last Waltz, who were the first four home in a mile Listed race at the Curragh on August 30.
