The race was first run in 2000, and was awarded Grade 3 status in 2012. The 2017 running was named the Dr Vincent O'Brien Centenary Chase to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Vincent O'Brien in April 1917. O'Brien came from Churchtown, County Cork and was president of Cork Racecourse from 1997 to his death in 1997.[1] Since 2019 the race has been run under sponsored titles.
