How competitive is the Fillies Mile market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2010 when the race had an over-round of 109%. The race in 2006 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 119%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Fillies Mile, the over-round has been 114%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £114 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2026 Fillies Mile 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 Fillies Mile Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run Fillies Mile races over the last 20 renewals:

  1. Precise (1:35.46) in 2025
  2. Lyric Of Light (1:35.98) in 2011
  3. Laurens (1:36.15) in 2017

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 Fillies Mile next time out, then you would have backed a total of 5 winners. Backing all 17 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -1.02. Remember to use the racing predictions along with the information on this page to find a bet on the 2026 Fillies Mile.

When looking over the past 20 renewals, a time of 1:35.46 was set by Precise in 2025, trained by A P O'Brien and ridden by Christophe Soumillon, which is the quickest time over that period. The slowest winning time was set in 2007 when Listen won in a time of 1:43.30 for trainer A P O'Brien, who booked Johnny Murtagh in the saddle.

What the expert says...
Nine of the last twenty winners came here having run in the May Hill Stakes last time out; however, also keep an eye out for runners from the Moyglare Stud Stakes, as that race has supplied five winners since 2007.
