Bloodsweatandtears is a Brighton specialist with 21 all-weather starts behind him and no victories. REBEL STATE (NAP) looked a certain future winner when narrowly beaten at Chelmsford and was backed accordingly at Wolverhampton - he didn't get the best of runs and can gain compensation. Music Major won a similar handicap over the course and distance in August and, though 5lb higher, this doesn't look much tougher while Prim And Proper has also won around here and was tackling slightly better class last time.
