Nathaniel has been added to the field for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday at a cost of £75,000.
John Gosden's colt was an impressive winner over the course and distance at Royal Ascot last month.
Coronation Cup winner St Nicholas Abbey and Royal Ascot victor Rewilding are among the other leading contenders.
Rewilding's stablemate Debussy is a second potential runner for Godolphin trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni.
Midday, trained by Sir Henry Cecil, and Aidan O'Brien's Seville complete seven runners among the five-day declarations for the mile-and-a-half contest.
Workforce flopped in the 2010 King George, which was won by a record 11 lengths by Harbinger in what turned out to be his last race before injury ended his career.
Last year's Derby winner, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, was narrowly beaten on his latest run by So You Think in the Coral-Eclipae over a mile and a quarter at Sandown.
Rewilding, on the other hand, wore down So You Think over 10 furlongs in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.
St Nicholas Abbey, a long-time favourite for the 2010 Derby before missing the race, has returned to form this season and defeated the multiple Group One-winning filly Midday by a length in the Coronation Cup at Epsom.
