History

The race was first run in 2007 as the Xplor Conditions Stakes. It was renamed the Stubbs Stakes and upgraded to Listed status in 2013. [1] In 2014 it was renamed in memory of Sir Henry Cecil, who died in 2013 and was British flat racing Champion Trainer 10 times. Amongst the prizes for the first running under the new name was a rose from Cecil's garden at his Warren Place stables. [2] It is held on the opening day of Newmarket's three-day July Festival meeting.
