A horse purchased for a jaw-dropping €3millon is set to make her debut at the Curragh on Wednesday evening for Aidan O'Brien.
Espania runs in the mile and a half fillies maiden at the Co Kildare venue, the penultimate race on the card.
She will be partnered by Derby-winning jockey Padraig Beggy, with the stable also running Loyal (Seamie Heffernan) and Call Me Sweetheart (Wayne Lordan).
Espania is a full sister to Oaks winner Forever Together and Together Forever, who won the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket.
Incredibly, that Oaks win in 2018 was Forever Together's sole victory, but she was a runner-up in the Chesire Oaks, Pretty Polly Stakes and Irish Oaks in the same season for the Ballydoyle team.
Meanwhile, Together Forever won three of her nine starts in the Coolmore colours, finishing fourth in the 2015 Irish Oaks on her final start.
A daughter of Galileo, Espania was purchased by MV Magnier and Westerberg for €3 million at the 2019 Goffs Orby Sale. She was bred by Vimal and Gillian Khosla.
