How competitive is the Wokingham Stakes market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2020, when the race had an over-round of 124%. The race in 2025 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 152%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Wokingham Stakes, the over-round has been 141%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £141 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2027 Wokingham Stakes 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 Wokingham Stakes Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run Wokingham Stakes races over the last 20 renewals:

  1. Get It (1:11.40) in 2025
  2. Cape Byron (1:11.72) in 2019
  3. Double Rush (1:11.97) in 2026

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 Wokingham Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 2 winners. Backing all 17 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -10.00. Ahead of the 2027 Wokingham Stakes, why not head over to the racing predictions for tips on other races today?

Over the last 20 renewals, it was Get It, trained by George Baker and ridden by Seamie Heffernan, who set the fastest winning time in the Wokingham Stakes. That runner won the race in a time of 1:11.40 in 2025. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer James Fanshawe and jockey Johnny Murtagh with Deacon Blues who set the slowest winning time; the race-winning time was 1:16.90 in the 2011 renewal.

What the expert says...
The 2023 winner, Saint Lawrence, came here from the Rowley Handicap Stakes, and that feat was repeated in 2026 with Double Rush.
