Marketing Manager of McArthur Glen Cheshire Oaks, Joanne Forshaw, comments: “As Official Style Partner for the second consecutive year, we are really excited to be judging the Ladies Day Best Dressed competition once again. The women (and men) of Chester know their style and this year we are looking for individuals who are able to add a touch of personality to the season’s key trends.”

Chester Racecourse announced its official style guide earlier this month, which cites the definitive ‘what to wear’ guide for the thousands of racegoers who will descend on the historic Roodee to revel in three days of racing at the Boodles May Festival.

Racegoers are encouraged to share their outfit inspiration on social media using the hashtag #RacingReady and tagging @ChesterRaces and @CheshireOaksDesignerOutlet on Instagram.

The Ormonde and Dee Stakes will be the feature races of Ladies Day.
