I realize your unfounded BC predictions for him are an internet free roll. There is no indication whatsoever that he will run in any BC race and it is certainly not like Godolphin to deviate from their well mapped out plans to simply take a shot.
The reason Discreet Cat missed races earlier this summer is because he is basically a laimo. They never intended on running in the Dwyer, regardless of what was printed, and that was due to his sore going nature. In fact, it was just that situation that allowed him to pay 5-1 in his debut. It was widely know that he was very talented but just as widely known that he had serious soreness issues. This is specifically why he is lightly raced.

Why would you think the likelihood of Discreet Cat transferring his dirt ability to the turf would be small?
A horse as talented as this one can run on anything. Of course there is a chance that he might not like the turf but i think the chances of him being successful on it are more than just "small".
Horses going dirt to turf are more likely to be successful than the other way around.
