History
The event was established in 1907, and it was originally open to horses aged three or four. The result of the first running was a dead-heat.[1]
For a period the race was contested over 1 mile, 5 furlongs and 75 yards.[2] It was restricted to three-year-olds and cut to 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 53 yards in 1959.[3] It was abandoned in 1969,[4] and extended by several yards in 1970.[5]
The Chester Vase serves as a trial for the Epsom Derby. The last participant to win the Derby was Wings of Eagles, the 2017 runner-up.
