STYLISH racegoers have raised the fashion stakes today, as female race fans took over the Cheltenham Festival for Ladies Day.

Women dressed to impress on the second day of the Gloucestershire meeting, braving chilly weather to showcase glamorous outfits and headwear.

As The New One raced to victory in the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle, the ladies were vying for awards of their own, including best accessories, best hat and best dressed lady.
