I'd say it is fairly impossible to say this or that without good limiting magnitude estimates/SQM readings. The only way to be sure is to try it for yourself.
If B33 is fairly high in the sky, say 40deg+, and the limiting magnitude is close to 6 in zenith and with fairly good background brightness... I'd say you might be able to glimpse it.
From my personal experience I have to say the limiting magnitude needs to be somewhere between 6.7 to 7+ for me to be able to spot the Horsehead with my 8" DSE + UHC filter.
