Donnacha O'Brien, Marcus Tregoning and Chris Hayes join our expert panel
Louis Steward and Betfred's Matt Hulmes also give their thoughts
What do you make of Siskin being 8-1 for the 2,000 Guineas?
Chris Hayes, jockey He’s too short. You can’t have a clear picture of the two-year-old pecking order this early in the season.
Matt Hulmes, Betfred odds compiler Siskin has been visually impressive on all his starts and won despite hating the ground on Friday. However, he’s beaten a total of 18 rivals in four races and single-figure prices for a race nine months away aren’t appealing to me.
Donnacha O'Brien, jockey It’s short but that’s what happens when you have an unbeaten Group 1-winning two-year-old. I don’t think it’s any more ridiculous than other early Classic quotes.
