Little between the principals on form but NO MEAN FEAT has made an encouraging start for his new yard so is taken to go one better than his Fontwell second. Lightening Company comes here fit from the Flat and is feared most back in this sphere, with Culligran, Brian's Jet and Burgundy Man also in the picture.
