It is run at Punchestown over a distance of about 2 miles and 4 furlongs (4,023 metres), and during its running there are twelve hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Punchestown Festival in late April or early May.
Previous sponsors of the race have included Menolly Homes, Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Land Rover.
