'He should prove very hard to beat' - Maureen Haggas joins our expert panel looking at the weekend action

Alex Fussey, Harry March, Keith Melrose and Paddy Power's Paul Binfield also give their views

Help boost our Royal Ascot funds by giving us the winner of the Macmillan Sprint Handicap (3.35) at York.

Paul Binfield, Paddy Power I would be quite keen on the chance of Fast Track Harry. He was pretty good on his first two starts and skated in when odds-on in a novice at Doncaster last month. That was his first outing after wind surgery and while it is tricky to evaluate if he is well in off 90 on his first handicap start, I am willing to risk it at a tasty price. 

Alex Fussey, commentator I fancy Double Rush for Charlie Hills and Shane Foley. He looks very progressive and I like the fact that he was nominated for this race immediately after his win at Newmarket last time. 

Maureen Haggas, assistant trainer Maelstrom has won all three of his starts this year and looks on a good mark still. He will hopefully go very well but, as the betting implies, Double Rush looks the one to beat in a typically competitive renewal of the race.
