Jimbo the guide dog attended the races look very dapper with his owner David Adams and wife Judith.

Looking equally as smart for the occasion, David revealed he was taking a break from an epic fundraising challenge where he climbed the equivalent of the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, by walking 197 times up a local hill.

Mr Adams, who is blind, said: “I’ve climbed it 120 times so that’s 77 to go, and I hope to finish on my birthday, August 8 when I’ll be 78.

“My knees were a bit sore at the beginning but they’re pretty good now, but it’s always nice to take a day off and have a glass of champagne.”
