Nathaniel produced a tremendous performance on his first run of the year to land a thrilling Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
Sharply away from the stalls, the John Gosden-trained King George winner (7-2) was always in the perfect position under a confident William Buick as he tracked the pacesetting City Style.
Sent on fully three furlongs out, Nathaniel found plenty for pressure to repel the strong challenge of 11-4 favourite Farhh by half a length without ever looking likely to be caught, while Twice Over, the winner in 2010, ran a terrific race to finish third.

Great Heavens put up an impressive and timely display in the bet365 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock Park.
Fifty minutes before her full-brother Nathaniel galloped to glory in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, the lightly raced filly added a Group Two contest to the family haul in convincing fashion.
Rab Havlin set out to make it a stamina test on the John Gosden-trained 11-4 favourite and she duly obliged to make it three wins from as many starts this season.
