The singer, 52, was at the course to see her horse Lift Me Up, named after her 1999 solo hit.

Fittingly, a horse named after another 90s song, Wonderwall, won the race, with Geri's nine-year-old coming in 13th.

Another celebrity owner was former football manager Harry Redknapp, who watched Yellow Car come in fourth.

He explained: “Graeme McPherson, the trainer, rang me and said, ‘Harry, I've got a nice horse in the yard, it won at Doncaster. Would you be inter-ested? It's called Yellow Car’.

“I said, ‘Not really. I've got a lot of horses at the moment, Graeme’.
