The Dee Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old colts and geldings.
It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 70 yards (2,076 metres) at Chester in May.
The event is named after the River Dee, which runs alongside the racecourse.
The race was won by Voluptuary, a subsequent Grand National winner, in 1881.
