The Barry Hills Further Flight Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Nottingham over a distance of 1 mile 6 furlongs and 15 yards (2,830 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April.
The race was originally named after Michelozzo, the 1989 St Leger winner, who made his debut at Nottingham. It was renamed in 1999 to honour Further Flight, a high-class stayer during the 1990s who won this race twice and was trained by Barry Hills. Since the 2015 running the race has also included Hills' name in its title.
The race was first run in 1993, and has held Listed status since 2003.
