Native Khan set for Curragh

ED Dunlop has confirmed that Native Khan will contest the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh on June 26.

The Craven Stakes winner finished third in the 2000 Guineas and followed that up with a highly creditable run at Epsom when fifth behind Pour Moi.

Johnny Murtagh stepped in to ride at short notice after connections were let down by Kieren Fallon and Murtagh will be on board once more – and for the foreseeable future when he is not required by his employer the Aga Khan.
