The race in 2007 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 122%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Lennox Stakes, the over-round has been 115%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £115 which is bet.

Lennox Stakes Trends:

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? From the past 20 if you had followed the winner of the Lennox Stakes next time out then you would have backed a total of 6 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since to win at SP next time out, would have returned an LSP of +1.15. Whilst we wait for the 2024 Lennox Stakes remember you can get daily racing predictions from the expert tipsters on the racing predictions page.
