THE Tattersalls Irish Guineas Festival is on next weekend, May 23rd-24th so the weather better get its act together and bring the sun out to greet expectant racegoers and fashionistas, who will descend on the course for racing and fashion magic.

On Sunday the fashion stakes vie with the track action, with the most stylish competitions running for both ladies and gents. The Irish Tatler K Club Style Icon competition, in association with Cullen & Co Jewellers, has a total prize fund of over €10,000 so it’s certainly worth planning your outfit to dazzle the judges.
