Pundit pick: God Knows

God Knows heads this wide-open eighteen-runner field over eleven furlongs at Naas on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Eastern Peace and a few pounds clear of the next cluster on our ratings, which gives him a slender but genuine edge on paper. Eastern Peace represents the most obvious threat and should not be taken lightly, while Sinbad My Dad and Showyoutheropes are both rated level and capable of making their presence felt in what looks a competitive heat. The confidence here is modest given the size of the field and the closeness of the ratings throughout, but the form edge belongs at the top of the ratings. God Knows is our selection.
