Not sure how well Sixties Icon won today, but that was over 10 furlongs, and on the best of his form he couldn't be excluded from the list.
With regards to Getaway, I'm not convinced he would handle the drop in distance to ten furlongs. He seems to have plenty of stamina, and might find himself taken off his feet in a strongly run ten furlong race.
I would love to see New Approach run in something like the Classic on a synthetic surface, but it's not gonna happen.
