The first renewal was in 1951, run in memory of the 2nd Baron Mildmay Of Flete who died the previous year aged only 41 and who was an amateur jockey who won three times at the Cheltenham Festival. The race was originally called Mildmay Of Flete Handicap Chase.
The race has had several sponsors this century including The Racing Post, Byrne Group, Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable, Paddy Power and most recently TrustATrader, who are the current sponsor.
