Quote:
John Gosden has given Nathaniel the go-ahead to attempt back-to-back victories in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
Connections of last year's winner have been receiving the right vibes from the horse to pitch him into battle just two weeks after he made a successful first appearance of the season in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
The trainer said: "As of this morning, he's a runner. William (Buick) breezed him this morning and I think it went really well - William was delighted. I expect the ground to be on the easy side, not heavy, and I think it would be wimpish not to run."
