The Liverpool City Cup is a quality handicap that tends to attract more than handy sprinters and the 1300m distance of the race lends itself to horses who can finish strongly over 1200m or those unable to run out a strong 1400m. The Liverpool City Cup is held on Gr1 Chipping Norton Stakes day which is Warwick Farm's only day of racing during the autumn.
Horses contesting this race may come via the Gr3 Southern Cross Stakes (1200m) which is run under the same conditions and The Free Stater (2007) was the last horse to win both races in the same year.
A race such as the Gr3 Newcastle Newmarket Handicap run under similar conditons may be next on the agenda for horses conteting this event.
Dreamscape (2010) ran second in the Southern Cross Stakes prior to winning this event and recent winners of the Liverpool City Cup include Judged (2009) and Danleigh (2008).
