The event's registered title is named after John of Gaunt, the 1st Duke of Lancaster, who lived in the 14th century. It was formerly open to horses aged three or older, and it used to be classed at Listed level. The minimum age was raised to four in 1998, and the race was promoted to Group 3 status in 2008.
The race has been sponsored by the Timeform organisation since 2009, and it is now referred to as the Timeform Jury Stakes.
