Strike-rate could be better, having scored just once since 2019, but has proved largely consistent in recent times and ran creditably at Uttoxeter when last seen; holds solid claims on veterans' chase debut. |

Capable of very good form, as when narrowly beaten by a smart rival two starts ago, but not completely reliable and little impact at Cheltenham last month (28-1), when tried in cheekpieces (retained); others preferred. |

26th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Absent since below-par run in April but he showed plenty of solid form last season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy; including here) and he goes well fresh; could have a part to play. |

Last month's Ayr success came in a match and he could manage only fifth off this mark at Carlisle next time, though wasn't beaten far; can make mistakes and blundered and unseated rider here on Wednesday. |

25th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Rejuvenated 8yo who won three in a row at Perth (3m, good-heavy) in August/September and has continued in fine form to finish second at Carlisle (3m/3m2f, soft) the last twice; continues to climb the weights (up 2lb since last time) but he's clearly thriving and could be in the mix. |

Verdict
Having run big races in defeat at Carlisle the last twice, WASDELL DUNDALK can return to winning ways. The very lightly raced 6yo Step Above is open to improvement for Lucinda Russell and is second choice ahead of the consistent veterans Nestor Park and Up Helly Aa King.[Ben Hutton]
