HOLD THAT TAUGHT (NAP) needs forgiving a lacklustre performance at Leicester but will surely appreciate this stiffer test of stamina and can recoup losses. Multellie is a course winner but is not as certain to enjoy the longer distance, though warrants respect. O'Hanrahan Bridge gets weight from his likely market rivals and is already proven over the trip but has been looking a trifle one-paced around Sedgefield.
