Trainer Dermot Weld has indicated that his English 2,000 Guinneas winner Refuse To Bend is now a 'definite' runner in the Prix du Moulin, at Longchamp next Sunday.
The top class colt had been pencilled in for a clash with Amamshar in Leopardstown´s Champion Stakes, but could now face a battle with Pascal Bary´s Six Perfections in France´s Group 1 event.
Weld stated 'Refuse To Bend is a definite runner and we will probably have Military Option as a pacemaker.' He also added 'the colt is in super form. He has improved since his win in the Desmond Stakes and Pat Smullen will be on board again.'
The ground at the racecourse is currently described as 3.5 (soft).
