At the five-day entry stage for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes sees St Nicholas Abbey as 9/4 fav with William Hill.
Nathaniel was cut into 3/1 2nd fav to defend his title after victory in the Eclipse and he shares that quote with Hardwicke winner Sea Moon.
Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden is next in the betting at 5/1, ahead of Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine Danedream at 8/1.
William Hill spokeswoman Lucy Rhodes said “St Nicholas Abbey is strong at the head of the betting but Sea Moon has been popular after positive gallop reports, and we could see a real shortening as with Workforce last year who usurped the Ballydoyle contender’s favouritism in the run-up”
