CSS Selction Help - I can only modify the class on parent of parent element. ie div.thisclass > div > h3

I only have access to the class of 2 elements up and need to target the H3 element without interfering with existing styles.

I need to style that H3 as an override to existing styles - how can i do this with advanced CSS selectors

    <div class="Can-Access">
     <div class="cant-modify">
         <img></img>
          <span></span>
          <h3 class="cant-modify-either"></h3>
     </div>
    </div>

It could be as simple as 

.Can-Access h3 { ... }

Or you can be more specific if you know the classname of the h3 element.
