Hi, Advice please 
i have a Cannondale Trail6 26" and would like to upgrade the forks. I do xc with a few jumps in there and the suntour xct forks seem to bottom out and also no lockout on them. £200 budget

Lockout isn't that important on a fork with a good damper, of course your current fork has no damper and has the dubious claim to fame of being the fork most voted as worst fork of the year.
A link to a spec would help so we know what you are replacing (steerer size, travel).Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
What size steerer and axle?
If you can stretch the budget a little these are excellent but tapered steerer and 15mm axle.

These are as good as it gets for less than 200 quid:

This is good if the steerer is long enough...

Cheers guys, steerer tube too short on that on. Ive gone for some Rockshox xc32solo air surely its an improvement on the suntour rubbish thats on the bike as standard.0
