Burton Port Odds and Grand National Form 2013
Burton Port was almost the forgotten novice chaser in the Henderson yard of 09/10 that included Punchestown and Long Run but he quietly went about his business and won his first three races over fences before surprising his trainer in finishing best of his runners (second to Weapons Amnesty) in the RSA of 2010. Burton Port then followed up in the Mildmay at Aintree, on a track that probably did not play to his tenacious strengths.
The season 2010/11 promised much after such an illustrious start to the son of Bob Back's chasing career and that year started off in great fashion with a runner-up spot in the Hennessy behind the impressive Diamond Harry. Unfortunately, injury intervened after that race but he returned apparently as good as ever in 2011/12 when running Long Run close in the Denman Chase at Newbury.
With regards to the Grand National, his will to win is ideal and probably would have the required stamina but dealing with a big weight would be a major worry. Reports suggest that Burton Port is relatively small for a top-class chaser and might therefore have problems shouldering large weights, especially over big fences such as those at Aintree.
