The Narendra Lagad-trained Coeur De Lion is placed at a tidy handicap mark in the class II, Serjeant At Arms Trophy, the feature event of Friday's nine-race card, the latter part of which will be held under the floodlights. With apprentice rider Mustakim Alam claiming a further 5kg. the four-year-old Roderic O'Connor - Sweeping Star colt will carry absolute feather weight on his back, and therefore, appeals as the best betting proposition of the afternoon.
