Munro - Cecil Up To Cup Challenge Alan Munro believes Sergeant Cecil can hold his own in the big Cup races this season following his heroics in three major staying handicaps last summer.The Rod Millman-trained gelding made history by becoming the first horse to win the Northumberland Plate, the Ebor and the Cesarewitch in the same season.'Sergeant is tremendous. What he did was absolutely amazing,' Munro told At The Races.'He's still in training. I've been down to Rod's to see him and he's in good shape.'Hopefully he'll have another good year. He'll be going for the Cup races.'I think he proved in the Doncaster Cup when he was second to Millenary that's he up to it.'He progressed last summer ? amazing really. I think he proved himself a Group horse last year.' ? PA Sport
