Siskin or Peaceful: who impressed you most?

Karl Burke, trainer It would have to be Siskin. He was fantastic and looks a superstar. He has a great turn of foot and I look forward to seeing him take on the older horses later in the season. The way he chased down Lope Y Fernandez in strides once in the clear was most impressive.

Stuart Jones, Sky Bet Both were impressive but I would have to say Siskin. It was a fascinating tactical race and I thought Siskin's performance in quickening clear of the O'Brien challengers was exceptional. He was a brilliant two-year-old and after Friday's performance he could dominate the three-year-olds this season.

Sean Levey, jockey I'd lean towards Siskin. Not only did he show how good he is, he had to show an equal amount of grit and toughness. He was boxed in, he didn't have many options and I think his class really shone through. Lope Y Fernandez had a dream run around the outside and for Siskin to get out and then pick him up was impressive.
