Certain notion bud abandoned (2,2,5)

I believe the answer is:

in no doubt

'certain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'notion bud abandoned' is the wordplay.
'abandoned' is an anagram indicator.
'notion'+'bud'='notionbud'
'notionbud' with letters rearranged gives 'IN NO DOUBT'.

(Another definition for in no doubt that I've seen is " Certain".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
