And knowing she had the chance to take part in the pounds 100,000 charity flat race which opens the Grand National Day card gave her all the motivation she needed to get back in shape.

Cerys's People's Race diet has involved riding out for Carl Llewellyn, regular gym sessions and a weekly slot with a personal trainer, plus an overhaul of what she ate.
