The Topspeed figure for Al Suhail's win was very similar to his first run. 78 compared to 72.

It took the Racing Post guy a few days to award a rating for his win but he eventually gave him 86, which is lower than his debut run. I think 86 is a bit generous given that he rated the runner up exactly the same as I did on 70 but the point is that he has won without the need to improve on his first effort.

He's got time on his side but I doubt they will pitch him into Group company next time as he looks like he needs more time to learn his craft.
