In depth
Verdict
R Bren came up against a well-treated rival here last month and chasing is going to be her game. Going Mobile is 3lb lower than when scoring at Market Rasen in October and found only one too good last time at Sedgefield. WRITTENINTHESAND needs to brush up his jumping but still has time on his side and, though raised 5lb for a course and distance second last month, can open his account today and he is still rated 8lb lower than Unai, who probably needs further help from the handicapper and is becoming expensive to follow.
