James will also be hosting the competitions on stage in the Grandstand Enclosure and said "I am delighted to be part of the judging panel for Ladies Evening 2011, I expect we will have some very difficult decisions as the standard or fashion and style is always so high at these events. I am looking forward to the racing too - I may even have a little flutter!"
