Cambridge College with the Strongest Maths Students

I was wondering if any current/past Cambridge maths undergrads have any insight into which college, on average, has the strongest maths students.

From what I know (please do correct me if I'm wrong), some colleges such as Trinity consistently have stronger average Tripos performances than other colleges, and it also accepts the best maths olympiad contests. Since I understand that the teaching and supervisions in different colleges are mostly similar, I thought that the explanation to Trinity's strength must have stemmed from a significant spike in the ability/drive of its students. And although I imagine that there must be considerable variation in the strength of the students from batch to batch, I was wondering if there were any other colleges that were seen to have generally stronger students (such as Trinity). I've read online that St. Johns and Christs somewhat have such reputations - does this allign with any of your experiences?

Thanks very much :smile:
