Four and five-year-olds have the best record here with 12 of the last 16 winners and if LEOVANNI finds any improvement for a recent wind operation, she looks overpriced ahead of her handicap bow. A Queen Mary winner as a juvenile, she was beaten less than two lengths in Listed company at Lingfield on her return and has form over 6f, having placed in the Lowther at York. Binhareer was only beaten a neck on his return at York but an added 5lb looks prohibitive, with easy Newmarket winner Double Rush and the penalised Realign narrowly preferred.

Wokingham Stakes Overview

First run in 1813, the Wokingham Stakes has become one of the more historic races in the Royal Ascot schedule. The race is named after the market town of Wokingham which is located several miles west of Ascot itself.

Pointers prevailed victorious in the first-ever edition of the race which was owned by the Duke of York. A horse by the name of Wokingham even won the race on two separate occasions in 1881 and 1882. The race used to be run as three separate races. It became a single race in 1874 and has been run that way ever since. The only exception was in 2020 when a Silver Wokingham Handicap was run due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Seven jockeys, including Lester Piggott and Willie Carson, share the record for the most wins by a jockey in the race with 3 victories each. Four trainers (Joe Cannon, Richard Marsh, Charles Morton, and Paul Cole) have all experienced the most number of wins for a trainer in this race with 3 wins each.
