- £4,000 River Island Voucher
- 2x Garden Club Tickets to ladies day at the Randox Grand National Festival 2025
- A Randox Health full Body Everyman or Everywoman package
- £250 Voucher from House of Cavani

The most sustainably dressed racegoer will receive:

- £2,000 River Island Voucher
- 2 x Garden club tickets to Ladies Day at the Randox Grand National Festival 2025
- Hospitality for two at an Aintree Racecourse Fixture of their choice in 2024
- £250 voucher for Virgin Experience Days

Confidence

Perhaps I'm stating the absolute obvious, but confidence is key! If you feel amazing, you'll look
