History
The event is named after May Hill, a successful filly whose victories included Doncaster's Park Hill Stakes in 1975. It was established in 1976, and was originally classed at Group 3 level. It was promoted to Group 2 status in 2003.
The May Hill Stakes is currently held on the second day of the four-day St. Leger Festival.
The leading horses from the race often go on to compete in the Fillies' Mile. The last to win both was Laurens in 2017.
