Dominant across old part of Yorkshire (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overriding

'dominant' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'across old part of yorkshire' is the wordplay.
'across' becomes 'over' (synonyms).
'old part of yorkshire' becomes 'riding' (historical term for a region of Yorkshire).
'over'+'riding'='OVERRIDING'

(Other definitions for overriding that I've seen before include "taking precedence" , "most important" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
