Thanks for correcting me. The Mile would be much easier than the Sprint.

George Washington, Araafa, Aragorn, and Showing Up. All really good horses. No hall of famers in the bunch that would scare me off though. Gorella is still looking at the F/M Turf so she might not be there. Ashkal Way has been all out to beat lesser in his last couple and Librettist came out of his last work lame. Also, Ashkal Way and Librettist are both Godolphin horses so they likely wouldn't be there if Discreet Cat was.
Either way, the depth of the fields faced is not even important. He'd have to run hard to beat Aragorn in the Mile. Or to beat Araafa. Or George Washington. Just like he'd have to run hard to beat Silver Train. In fact, he might even have to run HARDER to beat Silver Train than he would have had to run in the Mile.
