Auteuil Race 3 - Prix Congress Chase (Grade 2)
NADOR (1) has progressed sharply over the obstacles this term and arrives chasing a hat-trick after a dominant 12L success in a Listed steeplechase over 3500m here. Clearly the one they have to beat. DUC DE ROCHE (2) can improve on his last-start fifth among Listed hurdle company at Compiegne. Angelo Zuliani returns to partner a three-year-old he manages to get the best out of. Main danger. SANTANDER (6) finished runner-up in a Listed 3500m steeplechase at this course on latest appearance and a repeat places him firmly in contention. MARY SHELLEY (11) also brings strong Listed chase form having made the frame contesting 3450m at Compiegne last time. Not dismissed.

Chasing a hat-trick. Resumes off a 34 day letup. Last run favourite; won by 12 len this track in a LR on October 12 over 3500m slow track defeating Santander carrying 68kg at $1.60 in a steeplechase. Run before to post a big 14 len win. This track on September 9 over 3500m on rain affected going defeating Mistik D'engilbert with 67kg at $4.40 in a steeplechase. Found his best form now. Ideally placed to go on with it.

Raced two times to date. At debut, finished eighth of 18 starters at this track on September 13 over 3600m, on slow going 34 len behind Proactif carrying 67kg at $7.20. Second-up finished seventh of 13 starters at this track on October 29 over 3500m, 69 len behind Bourbon Has with 67kg at $21. Hard to recommend on current form.
