Verdict
There are some choicely-bred newcomers engaged here but ALGOMETER also has an outstanding pedigree and the experience gained on a very encouraging debut at Goodwood can be put to good use. Signed And Sealed led to this trip on his second start at Pontefract and is likely to set a strong pace again but the remainder with experience will all need to step up a gear. Gunnery is related to numerous winners in France while Kummiya is a full-brother to six winners and out of a Coronation Stakes winner. Ulysses is by Galileo out of the Oaks winner Light Shift so he could be special next season while Victory Bond and The Graduate are both half-brothers to winners.
