Verdict

There was no disgrace in PUSH THE LIMIT being unable to concede 6 lb to the highly progressive Tenability in a course handicap last month and he might get the better of what could develop into another straight fight with a William Haggas inmate, as Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force looks the obvious danger. Likeable handicappers Circus of Rome and Many Men can battle it out for third.

  2. ARABIAN FORCE (IRE)
  3. CIRCUS OF ROME
