Refuse To Bend (15-2) did just that in a thrilling Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park today.

The Frankie Dettori-ridden four-year-old, trained by Saeed bin Suroor, settled down for a titanic duel with Warrsan (12-1) in the last furlong and simply would not buckle as Darryll Holland threw everything at him on Clive Brittain’s runner.
