The Curragh Stakes was revived in 2008, and from this point it held Listed status. It became known as the Grangecon Stud Stakes in 2009. It was switched to August in 2010, and reverted to its former title in 2011. The race was upgraded to Group 3 in 2015 [1] and downgraded back to Listed status in 2018. [2]
