Mirjan ready for Ces test

SCOTTISH handler Len Lungo hopes Mirjan can make it third-time lucky when the 10-year-old goes for gold in the totesport Cesarewitch at Newmarket on Saturday.

Having finished seventh on his first attempt in 2004, the gelding went on to fill the same position behind Sergeant Cecil in last year’s two-mile-two-furlong marathon.

“As far as the horse’s programme is concerned it has gone very well, we’re happy with him and we’ve done all the work we want,” said Lungo.
