2027 Queen's Vase Preview
Established in 1838, the Queen's Vase was initially run over two miles but was reduced to one mile and six furlongs in 2017.
The race was a Group 3 until 2014 when it was downgraded to a Listed race; however, in 2017 it was upgraded to the now Group 2.
It is open to three-year-olds only, in which any previous Group 1 winner receives a 3lb penalty, whilst fillies receive a 3lb allowance.
