Sat TV Trends: 28th March 2026

This Saturday the ITV Racing cameras head to Doncaster and Kempton to take in EIGHT races across the two venues – with flat racing all the way.

At Doncaster, it’s the start of the flat turf season with the traditional curtain-raiser – the William Hill Lincoln Handicap at 3:35pm – a race trainer William Haggas has won FIVE times.

While at Kempton there are three ITV races too – that include the Listed Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes – where every winner since 2015 has returned 9/2 or shorter.

As always, here at Geegeez we’ve got all the key trends and stats to help you whittle down the runners and put history on your side.

2026 Lincoln Handicap Trends

Billed as the feature race on the first Saturday of the new British flat racing turf season, the Lincoln Handicap is run over a distance of 1m at Doncaster racecourse.  

In recent years, the race has been dominated by horses aged 4 years-old, winning 11 of the last 22 renewals, while with FOUR wins in the last 17 runnings trainer William Haggas is one of the men to look out for.

Weight-carried has been a big trend in recent years with 20 of the last 22 winners carrying 9-4 or less, while 10 of the last 22 (45%) were officially rated between 95-100.

Despite, being a competitive handicap the favourites in the betting don’t have too bad a record either with 4 of the last 22 (18%) winning, but also note that 15 of the last 22 favourites were also unplaced - including the 2025 jolly Midnight Gun.

The 2026 Lincoln Handicap will be run on Saturday 28th March at 3:35pm.
