Native Khan oozed class in winning the Breeze Up Vendors Craven Stakes at Newmarket for Ed Dunlop and Kieren Fallon.
 |
He pulled a couple of lengths clear before Fallon gave him a reminder as he began to idle close home but he still beat Libranno by two lengths.
Dunlop said: "I'm very pleased. It was an afterthought to come here as he came to hand quicker than I thought, but I'm very pleased we did. I want to run him in a Guineas, but we'll have to see whether it is the French one or here.
"He is French-bred but I certainly wouldn't rule out coming here.
"He could be one for the French Derby but he won't run anywhere if it is soft."
