Bend to be campaigned over a mile

Dermot Weld's Sagitta 2000 Guineas winner Refuse To Bend, will be campaigned over a mile for the rest of the season after finishing only 13th in the Vodafone Derby.

The Sadler’s Wells colt was some 16 lengths behind the winner Kris Kin and trainer Dermot Weld is now planning to give his charge a break before tackling a number of major mile races later in the year.
