Aljabr can land the Champagne Lanson Sussex Stakes for a second time at Glorious Goodwood on Wednesday and create his own little piece of history.
Should Godolphin's colt pass the post first in the one-mile contest he will become the first horse to win the Group One race more than once in its history.
Unfortunately, the four-year-old may make the limelight almost by default.
With stablemate Dubai Millennium, Sendawar, Giant's Causeway and Crimplene all set to sidestep the race, and King's Best's career seemingly over, Aljabr's task has been made a lot easier.
Unbeaten in three races as a juvenile, including the Champagne Lanson Vintage Stakes here, he only appeared three times in 1999, his length defeat of Docksider in this race proving the highlight.
He added another Group One race to his CV when winning the Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes by two lengths from Trans Island on his seasonal debut this term but could only finish fourth behind Kalanisi in the Queen Anne Stakes last time.
Lockinge Stakes winners do not have a great record in that Royal Ascot event and it may pay not to take much notice of that performance.
Aljabr has the class to see off the likes of Arkadian Hero and Almushtarak.
Tuesday's feature race is the Peugeot Gordon Stakes which can fall to Ekraar.
Winner of the Champagne Lanson Vintage Stakes here last term, the son of Red Ransom is trained by Marcus Tregoning whose stable has been chronically out of form.
Fourth in the French 2000 Guineas this season, he gave Tregoning a belated first winner of the campaign when stepped up to a mile and a quarter at Newbury last time, beating Peacock Jewel by five lengths.
This 12 furlongs should not be beyond him and he can capture the Group Three prize.
On Thursday Endless Summer can retain his unbeaten record in the Richmond Stakes.
John Gosden's charge looked very useful indeed when winning on his debut at Newbury this month.
Despite not looking right in his coat and running green the son of Zafonic quickened well to beat Man Of Distinction by two and a half lengths.
Gosden won this contest last year with subsequent French and Irish 2000 Guineas winner Bachir and a repeat is on the cards.
The picture for the William Hill Mile is somewhat cloudy with many of the leading fancies in the ante-post market engaged in the Tote International Handicap at Ascot five days before.
Calcutta may be worth another chance to find some of his excellent form from last year.
Barry Hills' charge won at Newmarket and Doncaster last season, on the latter occasion defeating the very useful Indian Lodge.
Things have not gone so well this term, although the four-year-old has shown a little more on his last two starts.
Sixth at Sandown on his penultimate start he was beaten a short head and a head behind Free Option at Kempton last time.
This easy mile and fast going would be his preferred conditions.
There is a new Pattern race on Friday's card, the Group Three Theo Fennell Lennox Stakes over seven furlongs.
And the prize can fall to Three Points, an impressive winner at Newbury last time.
Moving down in trip seems to have done the trick for the son of Bering.
Fourth in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, he went on to beat Glad Master by four lengths in a conditions race at Newbury, smashing over two seconds off the course record in the process.
He can land this event for local trainer John Dunlop.
The week's second Group One event is the Vodafone Nassau Stakes where it is hard to oppose Crimplene.
The Clive Brittain-trained filly has raced in five different countries already this season and has talent to match her durability.
Winner of both the German and Irish 1000 Guineas, the daughter of Lion Cavern produced a top-class performance in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot last time, beating Princess Ellen by two and a half lengths.
She is set to bypass the Sussex Stakes to have a crack at this 10-furlong contest with the trip being the only worry.
However, this is not the stiffest mile and a quarter around and she has the class to see off her rivals.
