History

The event was formerly known as the Silver Trophy Stakes, and it used to be held at Lingfield Park. For a period it was a Listed race open to horses aged three or older, and it was contested over 7 furlongs and 140 yards. It was run as a handicap from 1993 to 1998. It was switched to Ascot and extended to a mile in 1999.

The Silver Trophy Stakes was promoted to Group 3 level in 2003, and from this point it excluded three-year-olds. It returned to Lingfield when Ascot was closed for redevelopment in 2005. That year's edition was the first Group race in Britain run on a synthetic surface.

The event was renamed the Summer Mile Stakes in 2006. It was upgraded to Group 2 status and transferred back to Ascot in 2007.
