WILLIAMSON FOR DIRECT RETURN AT ASCOT Norman Williamson will return to action for the prestigious Victor Chandler Chandler at Ascot tomorrow after a day on the sidelines. Williamson decided to sit out Folkestone today after a crashing fall at Wetherby on Thursday. "I was feeling a bit sore this morning and decided to have a rest to make myself fresh for Ascot," he said. Williamson lay motionless for a short time after being unseated from Macgeorge. "A lot of people tell me it looked bad and it was a heavy fall. I was lucky to be able to walk away," he said. Williamson currently has four booked rides tomorrow, including Direct Route in the £50,000 Victor Chandler Chase. Earlier this week he opted to partner Direct Route ahead of the ante-post favourite Nordance Prince. "It's going to be a tough race and there are probably four or five with a good chance but I hope Direct Route will be thereabouts."
