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.
