I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'held' is the definition.
('have' can be a synonym of 'hold')

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for had that I've seen before include "Was bound to be - caught" , "Possessed; cheated" , "Owned in the past" , "Taken in" , "Was in possession of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
