History

The competition was run at Harringay Stadium from 1935 until 1987, before moving to Oxford Stadium in 1988. [2] [3]

At Oxford from 1988 until its closure in 2012, it was held during the month of March and was considered to be a good guide for the upcoming English Greyhound Derby because it attracted many Derby prospects. However, in 2023 the event returned following the re-opening of the stadium. [1] [4]
