Another maiden which looks sure to feature several interesting types where the betting should be very informative. Gentile Bellini has to be of interest given his price tag but some of those with experience have shown a decent level of ability and MR SECRETARY could be the pick judged on his debut last month. CONOR HOGAN and RAKAN also showed above average ability first time out and are of interest.
