Verdict
AVICHI wasn't beaten far in his first two races and only just failed to overhaul Pashtunwali when headed and battling back at Killarney. He had Exactoris around 14l back in fifth and though Aidan O'Brien's charge is entitled to get closer as that was his first run he's unlikely to make up the ground. Star Foot has been gradually improving and was staying on very strongly over the course and distance last time though suggesting a longer trip would suit. Coletts Boy, a half-brother to two winning hurdlers, may prove best of the newcomers.
