I'd look to the Classic with GW instead of the Mile if he were mine. Following the pattern of recent winners/runners-up in the QE II, I see Dubai Millennium, Giant's Causeway, Rakti, and Falbrav all listed there and each of those horses were better at 10f than they were at 8f. I think the QE II is a better prep for a 10f race in America than an 8f race. The only question would be how does GW handle dirt but I think the class is there to give it a try.
