Venetia Williams, who landed the feature race at Wetherby yesterday with Arctic Camper, can hit the jackpot at Ascot tomorrow with Nordance Prince.

This fast-rising star goes for the £50,000 Victor Chandler Chase and, with Tony McCoy booked for the ride, a notable triumph looks on the cards.
Nordance Prince, winner of two of his three starts this season, gained a valuable success at Wetherby's Christmas meeting when beating Aghawada Gold by a convincing four lengths in the Castleford Chase.
The handicapper has responded by raising Nordance Prince 8lb in future races, but he is able to race off his original mark tomorrow, which puts him in with a sterling chance off a mere 10st.
McCoy has vowed to go without food to ensure that he makes the weight, which is an absolute minimum for the champion jockey, and which requires him making a huge sacrifice..
He will spend tonight and tomorrow morning in a sauna, just as he did last month at Cheltenham when he sweated down to ride the successful Rodock at 10st for Martin Pipe.
Flagship Uberalles and Direct Route head the weights in tomorrow's field and are serious threats but in receipt of so much poundage Nordance Prince is strongly fancied to win.
Williams, whose horses are in cracking form, can also capture the Victor Chandler Skytext Novices' Hurdle with Crocadee, unbeaten in two starts this season and a horse with a bright future.
Ambleside, who has been in cracking form, can cope with a step up in class in the Victor Chandler British Masters Golf Handicap Chase.
A dual winner this season, the nine-year-old showed his battling qualities when getting the better of Royal Predica by half a length at Chepstow on his latest start.
At Newcastle, Rio's King promises to be the star attraction in the £25,000 Castle Eden Brewery Dipper Novices' Chase.
A recruit to Paul Nicholls' Somerset yard Rio's King, a former high-class hurdler, made an impressive start to his chasing career when coming home 24 lengths at Chepstow last month.
He faces stronger opposition here, notably from Malcolm Jefferson's Kings Measure, but Andrew Thornton's mount is napped to have the edge.
Valigan gets my vote in the Jennings Brothers Handicap Hurdle. Trained by Len Lungo, Valigan has been in good form and showed plenty of grit and determination to come out on top at Mudsselburgh on his latest start.
Stamina will also be at a premium at Warwick, where Venetia Williams can complete a memorable afternoon by clinching the £20,000 Tote Warwick National with Kingdom Of Shades.
Improved since being stepped up in trip, Kingdom Of Shades, a recent Cheltenham winner, will lap up this three miles and five furlongs.
