A son of the mighty Galileo, Sir Walter Raleigh was always going to come into his own as at three year old. He is an eye-catching horse with a very good action but needed time to mature. He made his debut in very soft ground at Nottingham towards the end of last season where he put up a an encouraging performance to finish fourth. He looks open to plenty of improvement this season.

Sir Walter Raleigh made rather hard work of his handicap debut at Southwell on 31st August. He finished fourth but was on and off the bridle a long way from home. However he did once again keep on under Louis-Philippe Beuzelin’s urgings down the home straight and just looks like he is crying out for further.
