Land straight ahead. The standard for towplanes, if power is lost or the cable breaks before they become airborne, is to move to the left. In this case, the glider pilot should release immediately and land forward, then, if needed, move to the right. The main point is that the pilot can land forward. Some airports have different rules, so always ensure that the correct standard is known before using the field.
