COEUR SEREIN has been hit hard by the official assessor but is on an upward curve and remains unexposed at around 3m too so is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick. Course-winner Cotswold Way rates next best off a lenient mark, with top-weight Stoney Mountain also sure to have a say in a useful handicap.
