Stiffer stamina test at Mullingar should see Burj tower over rivals

BURJ AZIZI will be well suited by the return to 550 yards for the opening semi-final of the Mullingar Supporters Club Tri Distance (7.51) and rates Wednesday's best bet as a result.

Ian Reilly's dog had been stepped up in distance prior to the 525 yards heats a week ago when his late charge saw him go down by only a length and he can hit the front comfortably in time given this stiffer test.

The second semi at 8.09 can go to Brian Reilly's Mysterious Moon, while other Mullingar fancies are Catherine Lynagh's Bluejig Teddy (6.39) and James Slevin's Intense Frost (9.01).

There is morning Irish action at Kilkenny where the suggestions are the syndicate-owned Feed Me Sorbet (12.54), Thomas Foley's Kiltegan Cindy (1.12) and John Connolly's Larkins Sophie (2.03).

Harlow has the usual Wednesday double-header with the suggestions being Debbie Hurlock's Maddox Rose (1.19) who can double up in A7 company, and Terry Nevin's consistent Yo Dutchess (7.58).

The afternoon action comes from Doncaster and Valley with the respective picks being Keith Robins' Mia Jezabelle in Donny's D2 sprint opener at 2.33 and Joshua Morris' Gizmo Mysterious (3.59) in South Wales.
