A great granddaughter of legendary broodmare Height Of Fashion led the way at the fourth and penultimate session of Goffs' Orby Sale in County Kildare, Ireland, on Thursday .

Bred by Barry Noonan and consigned from Cregg Stud, the yearling filly is by veteran Coolmore sire Bluebird and a half-sister to the listed-placed 4-year-old New Design. The filly, hip 618, heads to Mark Tompkins' Newmarket stable after making 88,000 euros.

Another filly in demand was hip 633, an offering from Caherass Stud. By Barathea, sire of yesterday's Cheveley Park Stakes winner Magical Romance, she is a half-sister to Diosypros Blue, who topped last year's Tattersalls Horses In Training Sale when making 230,000 guineas as a juvenile. Co Limerick agent Frank Barry purchased the yearling filly for 85,000 euros.

There were 216 yearlings catalogued on the day with 171 selling for 2,917,200 euros at an average of 17,060 euros.
