Khan connections confident Connections of Native Khan are "pretty confident" he'll stay the trip in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh. Ed Dunlop's charge finished fifth in the Investec-sponsored version at Epsom and a bold run is expected on Sunday. "He's come out of the English Derby well," the Newmarket handler told At The Races. "We're pretty confident he stays, but we're under no illusions. It's going to be very tough again and maybe it's going to be more of a stamina test, but it's his last chance of running in a Classic against his own generation. In time we may well drop him in trip. "He's in very good form and we're happy with him."
