Overpayment Dilemma

Hi all
After some advice please about overpaying my mortgage each month. My current mortgage is split across two different products, each with 21 years remaining:

Part 1 - c. £137k outstanding on a product that tracks at 1.34% above base rate
Part 2 - a further £50k outstanding on a product that tracks at 1.59% above base rate

I have £385 pcm available to use as a regular overpayment (no penalties) but my question is this...
Should I direct the additional £385 to Part 1 or Part 2 of my mortgage, in order for it to have most impact??

All pearls of wisdom greatly received.

Cheers,
Rob
