It is run on the July Course at Newmarket over a distance of 1 mile and 5 furlongs (2,615 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

History

The event was formerly known as the H & K Commissions Handicap contested over 1 mile, 6 furlongs and 175 yards. It became a Listed race in 1990.

The current name was adopted in 1991, having previously been used for a three-year-old fillies' handicap over 7 furlongs on the same card.

The race was cut to 1 mile and 5 furlongs in 2006. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 2009.

It is now held on the opening day of Newmarket's three-day July Festival meeting, and is often used as a stepping-stone towards the St Leger.
