WRITTENINTHESAND's jumping went to pot at Hereford when last seen in November, but he showed enough on his Market Rasen chase debut a month earlier to suggest that he has a future over fences. Tom George's charge is marginally preferred to Shattered Glass, who will be a threat if able to build on his latest improved effort. Sandford Castle is also feared and Write It Down is dangerous to discount.
