York · 4:50pm

Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Amateur Jockeys' Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Flat (Turf) 1m 2½f GOOD (Good to firm in places; watered; Overall 6.1; Home straight: Far side 5.9, Centre 6.1, Stands' side 6.0) Class 4 4yo+ 14 runners

Solid read Double Parked is our pick, with Spirit Genie the main danger.

Double Parked is the only confirmed front-runner, so expect a steady gallop the leader can control, and is favourably drawn (low is best over this trip here) — a powerful setup if left alone up front. On recent form Midnight Strike sets the standard (RPR 99). By our composite read Double Parked shapes as the one they all have to beat. Note Spirit Genie for an in-form yard.

How it played out: Double Parked won. The lone front-runner made all — as the pace map flagged. Our top composite read Double Parked finished 1st.
