Gavroche returns from a break to race in the Grade Three Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap, worth US$300,000, over nine furlongs on dirt at Prairie Meadows, USA, on Saturday, June 27.
The Eoin Harty-trained four-year-old quickened well for a convincing win on his latest start in a dirt allowance race over half a furlong shorter at Tampa Bay Downs on March 28.
The son of Distorted Humor was third in another extended-mile allowance race at Tampa Bay Downs, this time on turf, on February 17 and gained a length success on the same surface in a mile maiden in December.
Julio Felix partners Gavroche, who races off 8st, for the first time.
Gavroche, drawn 11, takes on 10 rivals headed by last year's winner Carve, Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile runner-up Tapiture and Oaklawn Park Grade Three victor Golden Lad.
