The Wokingham Stakes is one of the top handicaps run throughout the flat season. 28 runners go to post in the 6f cavalry charge, with so many winners of the race going on to bigger things in the future.

GG tipster Joe Napier previews the feature handicap of Royal Ascot week. He gives his verdict on the 28-runner field below.

2026 Wokingham Stakes Runners

A maximum field of 28 go to post and there are two who punters have latched onto for sometime. Binhareer was a very easy winner at York to end last season and nearly repeated the feat on the Knavesmire on return. He was challenging centrally, which would not have been the ideal part of the track. A 5lb rise is harsh, but might look lenient at York. This track may ask a different question as he was third here off a stone lower last term.

The other hotpot in the betting is Double Rush. Both of his wins since switching to Andrew Balding have come at Newmarket. Those Rowley Mile successes have come incredibly easily though and he looks a completely different horse to the one who flopped here in September. Group races await regardless of the result, but connections will be confident.

Evening Saigon, Leovanni and Realign represent Wathnan Racing. The last-named goes for the 2024 winning yard of William Haggas, as Binhareer does, and won well last time after being nowhere behind Double Rush. Evening Saigon is progressing, though this might be a big step up, while Leovanni won the Queen Mary here two years ago and is fascinating after wind surgery. Her best would put her right in contention.

Far Above Dream was Evening Saigon’s conqeuror last time out. He is chasing a four-timer so has to be respected, while Fandom franked Binhareer’s York return form with victory subsequently. Richard Hannon’s charge is on the up.

Those looking for fancy prices could do worse than double check the chances of Caburn and Thunderbear. Closer to the top, top-weight Spy Chief was second in the 7f Group 3 Jersey Stakes here last term. Ten Pounds, like Spy Chief, was second most recently and may also have potential to progress.

Wokingham Stakes Trends 2026

Big-field handicaps are the ultimate trends races, so here are four which could impact your punting in the Wokingham Stakes.

Five of the last seven winners have been drawn in the lower half of the field (stalls 1-14)
The last eight winners have carried 9st 2lb or higher
Every winner since 2013 has been trained in Britain
There has only been one winning favourite in the last decade

2026 Wokingham Stakes Tips

Not one but two hotpots vie for favouritism. Double Rush was so impressive twice at Newmarket that he could easily have risen in grade rather than take this on. He could still be ahead of a rating of 105. Binhareer is only 1lb lower and overperformed at York from where he raced. However, the grey might have slightly less room for manoeuvre, and at bigger prices, Apollo One and Leovanni, a former winner at the meeting, are dangerous each-way alternatives having plunged down the handicap.
