French fancies: our experts with the best bets at Chantilly

Capla Gilda
1.02 Chantilly
Spotlight
Signed off for Archie Watson with two 6f nursery wins in September and completed the hat-trick in a 6.5f Deauville claimer for her new stable in December. Also ran well when second at Chantilly on Boxing Day and is hard to get away from.

Rajsa Card
1.37 Chantilly
Graeme Rodway
Has put together a consistent string of efforts for form figures of 429221, with the pick of those runs when second at Deauville in December to Sickyl Papa, who has gone on to win twice since. Rajsa Card gave further substance to the form when scoring at Pau last time when winning with plenty in hand and might have more to offer.

Near Gold
2.12 Chantilly
Scott Burton
The highly regarded Near Gold failed to negotiate the pressures of a Classic spring when trained by Freddy Head. However, owner Jean-Louis Bouchard sent him to Head's son Christopher to help launch his career, and the Dansili colt gave the latest member of that training dynasty his first win at Deauville last month. Near Gold is clear top-rated but under the conditions of the race receives weight from two of his most serious rivals and may prove to be above this level.
