- Scampi (2:30.10) in 2023
Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Jorvik Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 4 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +1.75. Before placing your bet on the 2027 Jorvik Stakes, see which other runners today are being backed on the racing predictions page.
Over the last 20 renewals, it was Hanoverian Baron, trained by Tony Newcombe and ridden by David Probert, who set the fastest winning time in the Jorvik Stakes. That runner won the race in a time of 2:28.98 in 2010. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer Michael Jarvis and jockey Philip Robinson with Millville who set the slowest winning time; the race-winning time was 2:37.63 in the 2006 renewal.
