Two Greater Manchester men have been arrested after violence erupted at Chester Racecourse.

The 56-year-old man suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital - he is now recovering at home.
Two men from Middleton, Rochdale, aged 27 and 49, were arrested and have since been bailed.
Detective Constable Craig Logan said: “I’d urge anyone who was at the races that day and witnessed the incident to contact us so that we can progress with our enquiries.”
