GOSDEN IN NO RUSH WITH NAT.

John Gosden has confirmed there will be no quick decision on whether Coral-Eclipse winner Nathaniel will defend his crown in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot later this month.
The Newmarket handler expressed concerns about the close proximity of the two Group One races in the immediate aftermath of the Sandown contest and has reiterated his stance.
"Because of the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics there are only two weeks, it's compressed, between the Eclipse and the King George, and that is not ideal when you've had a lay-off and have a tough race like Saturday's," Gosden told At The Races.
