Marcus Tregoning is looking forward to seeing Bronze Angel attempt to make history by winnning the Betfred Cambridgeshire for a third time at Newmarket on Saturday.
Six horses won the first leg of the autumn double twice in the 20th Century - Hackler's Pride (1903-4), Christmas Daisy (1909-10), Sterope (1948-49), Prince de Galles (1969-70), (Baronet 1978 and '80) and Rambo's Hall (1989 and '92).
Now after equalling the feats of that elite club, Bronze Angel will bid to break new ground as a three-time winner of the historic handicap over the straight nine furlongs.
Successful off a mark of 95 in 2012 and 99 12 months ago, the six-year-old has to defend his crown of a rating of 108.
However, he will have the services of crack apprentice Louis Steward, who can claim the 3lb allowance.
Steward was in the saddle last year and partnered Bronze Angel to victory at Doncaster's Leger meeting to give a timely reminder of his Cambridgeshire prospects.
"He keeps on doing it. He's such a lovely horse and is a star," said Tregoning.
"He's come out of the race very well and his next race will be the Cambridgeshire where he will have more weight than last year, but if he goes there in his current form, he'll still run very well.
"He's going there in tip-top order and Louis will still claim 3lb off him.
"It's obviously going to be tougher, but he is in very good order."
John Smith's Cup hero Master Carpenter currently heads the weights for Rod Millman with a potentially strong Irish challenge that includes the Ger Lyons-trained Brendan Brackan and Mick Halford's Portage.
Other contenders include Royal Ascot winner Gm Hopkins, Earth Drummer and My Dream Boat.
Breden, Basem and Roseburg, all prominent in ante-post lists, have not been confirmed, however.
