26th Oct 2024 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective. |

11st 5lb |
No improvement for the step up in trip and switch to handicaps at Southwell last month (2m4f, soft) but that was his first start for 680 days; this should give a better indication as to where he is at present. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Produced good performance to win by 6l at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March but has not been in the same form again since, and he failed to convince stamina-wise on his three previous attempts at about 2m4f. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran who is still a maiden; made the frame a few times last spring; well held in handicaps here the last twice; others preferred. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
10yo who ran a couple of fair races in the spring and he may have needed the run here in October; however, he finished down the field in that handicap and is now 0-12; others have more pressing claims. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a 3m Perth handicap last term (good); comes into the reckoning following two sound runs last month when third over 2m6f here (good; form sound) and when second over 3m at Perth (good). |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
C&D winner off 3lb lower last June (good); clear of the remainder when 3.5l third in a decent race at Kelso last time (2m5f, good; winner went on to win 2m Scottish Champion Hurdle); has won on soft; interesting contender. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Runner-up off this mark over C&D (good to soft) in November; however, this inconsistent 9yo has won just two of his 27 starts and was down the field at Musselburgh later in November when last seen; others appeal more. |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-11 under rules; back from a long absence to finish third on his chase debut (2m4f, soft; beaten about 14l) and the dreaded 'bounce' appeared to rear its ugly head when tailed off back at Leicester over Christmas; the removal of cheekpieces (wore no headgear two runs back) could help matters; should stay. |

28th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-6 in points, 0-8 over hurdles and his third on chase/stable debut here a month ago was fairly remote; no real significance in the return of cheekpieces but it wasn't a bad latest run and this race is weak. |
7/4 |
Verdict
Ewood Park could easily leave his latest run behind and he looks a danger, but GAVROCHE D’ALLIER has shown some ability in races won by good novices and he has to be of interest now tackling his first handicap. The booking of Brian Hughes heightens interest in Mr Dealer.[Alistair Jones]
