DOUBLE Rush is high in the market for the Churchill Tyres Supporting Macmillan Sprint Handicap at York today, but there is a chance that he is a seriously well handicapped horse now on a mark of 95, and you can argue that he should be even shorter than he is.

Beaten in all three races last season as a juvenile, Charlie Hills’ horse got off the mark at Wolverhampton in late March on his first run at three. Really strong in the market before that race, he got out in front from early and he won impressively, coming four lengths clear in the end of runner-up French Sand, who easily won her maiden next time over the same course and distance.
