Neither FRS nor SPI nor WAS microdata includes capital gains, but we could impute them from HMRC statistical tables. Here are some high level stats from 2018-19:
256,000 individuals paid 8.8bn tax on 59.3bn capital gains (table 1)
More than half of gains are from people aged 55 or older (table 6)
Table 3 has the most important information (far left column is lower limit, left of each pair of columns is individuals in 000s, right is gains in millions):
The Office of Tax Simplification has some additional data. For example, the below chart shows that people bunch capital gains below the 12,300 threshold; while the report includes data for some charts, it omits it from this one.
