HELD in high regard by trainer Fozzy Stack, the two-year-old Australia colt Mohican Heights made the perfect start to his career when he landed a seven-furlong maiden at Leopardstown last month. One of nine winners for his Shirley Heights dam, he is a sibling to Group 3 winners Eye Of The Storm and Satchem.

David Simcock signed for the colt when he made the winning bid of £520,000 and later revealed that the colt, sold with an entry for the Chesham Stakes, was unlikely to take up that engagement. The trainer believes that he will benefit from time and be a late season prospect for further honours. Mohican Heights, a €100,000 yearling purchase, raced for David T Greathouse II and Jules Sigler.
