He was an easy debut winner for Fozzy Stack at Leopardstown last month and was bought by David Simcock.

"We looked at the video of his debut, he's an interesting horse and bred to stay and I had a couple of clients who were interested so it's worked out," said Simcock after signing the docket. "The clients, who are already in the yard, are always on the lookout for a nice horse and he's certainly going to get middle distances so he fitted in well."

Mohican Heights holds an entry for Royal Ascot, but his new connections are yet to make a decision on whether he runs in the Chesham Stakes on Saturday.
