Hold That Taught recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 6 29 Dec Newbury

    Held up at the back from the start - detached well before the 17th - never a factor - well held at the finish

  • Pos PU 29 Nov Newcastle

    Settled just off the pace on the inside - hesitant approaching 9th and slipped back before 10th - way off the pace and toiling by 12th - blundered 13th - beaten right off and eased before four out

  • Pos 4 12 Nov Bangor-on-Dee

    Well placed early tracking front group - pressed for effort dropped away after 3 out - kept going at an unchanged effort to finish fourth

  • Pos 4 24 Jan Sandown

    Shared front spot early - dropped back after brief advantage - towards the back before 11th - pressed for effort before 3 out - unable to threaten front runners and held safe to the last
