Formscan  - Having finished a half-length second here 17 days earlier, BETTER BE DEFINITE made it two wins from his last three starts when successful by a short head over C&D last month. He was value for more than the winning margin suggests, so a 3lb rise in the handicap shouldn't prevent him from going close. Sam England's stable is in good form, with three winners this month, and his representative Jeteye may be worth a second look. Lady Hamilton shaped nicely when third here at the beginning of the month and could improve for the step-up in trip.
