It is currently an Intermediate Hurdle (Limited Handicap) sponsored by Ladbrokes Coral, but in the 1980s and early 1990s it was a Grade 2 race, contested by many of the top hurdlers. It was given Grade 2 status when the National Hunt Pattern was revised in 1989 and was restricted to horses in their second winning season (intermediates) over hurdles – the 1992 running, for example, was restricted to horses which had not won prior to 2 August 1991.[1] Similar conditions still apply – the 2019 running was restricted to horses which had not won before 29 April 2019.[2] The race was subsequently reduced to Listed status and was re-classified as a Premier Handicap from the 2022 running when Listed status was removed from handicap races.[3]

The race was first run in 1954, and is named in honour of General Sir Randle (Gerry) Feilden, one of the great post-war racing administrators.
