Formscan - It could be worth chancing BETTER BE DEFINITE from the foot of the weights. Neil Alexander's charge won nicely on just his second handicap appearance at Ayr and, open to greater improvement, he should be competitive off a 5lb higher mark. Stablemate Boolamore Classic wouldn't have been far away over 2m4f here last time but for unseating his rider two out and the handicap debutant is interesting with cheekpieces now equipped. Atomic Angel arrives in excellent form and makes the shortlist, along with Rumble B and Guernesey.
