A Bendigo man has lost a bid to appeal against his jail sentence for violently attacking a woman earlier this decade.

Graham Giudice is serving an eight-year prison term after County Court Judge Mark Dean sentenced him in April last year, but the 31-year-old claimed the judge failed to take his borderline personality disorder into account when judging his moral culpability.
