Talking Horses: Sovereign the danger to Enable in bijou King George

Just two opponents stand between Enable and a record-breaking third King George win but only the needy and the greedy will be tempted by odds of 4-9, bearing in mind that the veteran mare has just suffered consecutive defeats for the first time in her life. She is undeniably the most likely winner but a case can be made for 12-1 being too big about Sovereign (3.35).
