THERE comes a point in the year when the King George that you talk about is the King George VI Chase, not the King George VI (same King George then) and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Enable usually wins the latter these days, and Altior is clear favourite for the former. Altior hasn’t been beaten in over four years, he has never been beaten over hurdles or fences and the call for him to target the King George is loud. He is box office.
