How competitive is the All-Weather Mile Championships market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 12 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2023, when the race had an over-round of 110%. The race in 2019 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 130%, whilst on average over the last 12 renewals of the All-Weather Mile Championships, the over-round has been 121%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £121 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2027 All-Weather Mile Championships Trends. See which patterns have occurred over the recent renewals that you may be able to use for the next renewal. We also have a section that looks at the All-Weather Mile Championships Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run All-Weather Mile Championships races over the last 12 renewals:

  1. Lucky Team (1:33.90) in 2018
  2. Captain Cat (1:34.51) in 2014
  3. Khuzaam (1:35.05) in 2021

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 12 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the All-Weather Mile Championships next time out, then you would have backed a total of 3 winners. Backing all 11 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +4.75. Remember to bookmark the racing tips page to access the OLBG racing picks easily daily.

When looking over the past 12 renewals, a time of 1:33.90 was set by Lucky Team in 2018, trained by J Boisnard and ridden by Theo Bachelot, which is the quickest time over that period. The slowest winning time was set in 2026 when Tyrrhenian Sea won in a time of 1:40.17 for trainer Roger Varian, who booked Jack Mitchell in the saddle.

What the expert says...
The Lady Wulfruna Stakes at Wolverhampton has now provided the 2015 (Grey Mirage), 2019 (Oh This Is Us) and 2023 (Berkshire Shadow) winners of this race, although only one of those won both.
