Ed Dunlop is eyeing up a tilt at the Investec Derby with Native Khan following on from his fine display in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday.

Frankel, who is 3/1 in the antepost market for the Derby with bet365, put in a superb front-running performance which put everything else in the shade, but Native Khan stayed strong to finish third, just over six lengths from the winner.

Dunlop now wants his grey to step up in distance and would love to see his colt take his place at Epsom on  June 4.

"He's come out of the race very well and we're very pleased with him," said Dunlop.

"It was an unbelievable performance by the winner. It was certainly the best Guineas win I've ever seen. I'm thrilled for everyone involved with the horse and it's brilliant for racing.

"We were very happy to be part of it. Our horse was obviously not in that same division, but we adamantly feel our horse wants further than a mile.

"Hopefully we can run in the English Derby, although I couldn't rule out the French Derby.

"He's French-bred, but I said before the Guineas I wanted him to run in the English Guineas rather than the French and we were lucky enough that the owners were happy for us to do that.

"Being an English guy, I'd like to have a runner with a serious chance in the English Derby, but we'll see.

"We'll have to discuss it further, but we were obviously very pleased with what happened at Newmarket.

"Wherever he goes, he won't run in a trial beforehand."

It is 14/1 for Native Khan to win the Epsom Derby in the antepost market.
