With the team confident that there is plenty more to come from the three-year-old colt.  Benbatl returned to a racecourse for the first time after 337 days on the sidelines in the Group 2 Celebration Mile on Saturday, but he had to settle for second place as Amanda Perrett’s Lavender's Blue got up on the line to narrowly deny the Saeed bin Suroor-trained son of Dubawi.  Turning their attention to the Beverley Bullet Sprint, the panel give their thoughts on Tis Marvellous who showed a scintillating turn of foot to quickly
