Burton tops Welsh weights

Burton Port has been raised 9lb following his fine effort in the Hennessy, meaning he will carry top weight of 11st 12lb if turning up in the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow on December 27.

Nicky Henderson’s charge stayed on from some way out to lay down a challenge to Diamond Harry but went down by a length and a quarter in only his second defeat over fences. His previous reverse came when he chased home Weapon’s Amnesty in the RSA Chase at the Festival.
