Refuse To Bend was confirmed on course for the Vodafone Derby after pleasing
connections with his work on the Curragh on Tuesday.
There had been negative vibes surrounding the Sagitta 2000 Guineas winner
after Dermot Weld's colt had galloped on Friday, causing his price to drift out
to 4/1.
However Tuesday's gallop has seen the colt attracting support again in the betting market, Coral cutting him to 7/2.
Stan Cosgrove, manager for owner-breeders the Moyglare Stud, said:
"Refuse To Bend did his exercise on the Curragh this morning and we're on
target for Epsom.
"He had a satisfactory blow over seven furlongs up the Old Vic Gallop with
two others. We are happy with what we saw.
"Our one concern is about his stamina. He has so much pace that you wonder if
he would get the mile and a half."
