BETTER BE DEFINITE showed improved form when opening his account at Ayr in March and took another step forward when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago, beaten only by one who got first run. Still lightly raced, he looks to hold sound claims again and earns the vote. Kiss My Face is still fairly lightly raced at this sort of trip and he's considered, with last year's winner Buto and Didn't Ask in the mix too.
