It is run at Kelso over a distance of about 2 miles and 2 furlongs (2 miles, 2 furlongs and 25 yards or ), and there are ten hurdles to be jumped. As of 2024, it is the only Graded race in the British Jump Pattern programme to be run over this distance. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late February or early March.

The race was first run in 1990 and was awarded Grade 2 status (previously Class B) in 2003.
