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 with Twice Over, the winner in 2010, finishing third.
