FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Aga Khan-bred TIMANA has run well in two maidens thus far and debuts in handicaps. She lacks a recent run and wears first-time cheekpieces against more experienced rivals, but her February form was boosted by the runner-up winning a recent maiden, which suggests she might be nicely treated rated 69. The Bear Trap is in-form, ground-versatile and has form at this distance but is nonetheless an 11-race maiden who might bump into one or two too strong. Dream Ticket missed the break when disappointing on her latest run at Dundalk in December but had previously shown good handicap form and should be well suited by today's sound surface.
