Racegoers at the opening meeting of the new season at Chester Racecourse had to shelter from the rain for the 2014 Boodles May Festival. 

Although umbrellas and raincoats were in abundance, Chronicle photographer Ian Cooper still managed to snap some fabulous fashion.  See if you can spot yourself in our gallery.

Ex-Liverpool footballer Michael Owen and his wife Louise were in attendance on the popular Chester Cup Day, won by jockey Ryan Moore on Suegioo.

A total of 14,606 people were in attendance.

Chester Racecourse, known as The Roodee, has held the Chester Cup  since 1824.

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 8,  the city centre will be transformed into a fashion capital as the racecourse stages its annual Ladies Day event.
