Simcock’s grey won a Group 3 at Newbury on his penultimate start last season before finishing down the field in a Group 1 at Munich racecourse in November.
Simcock said: “He is in the Jockey Club at Newmarket and if it rains enough he will go there.
"You would like to think he is stronger this year.
"When he gets his conditions he should be capable of competing at Group-race level.
"He will go wherever it rains."
Algometer is one of only nine remaining possibles in the Group 2.
