Alan King will make a late decision on whether to let Medermit line up in Saturday's Betfair Chase at Haydock.

The Grade One-winning chaser was off the track for the best part of two years before returning in February, but showed he retains plenty of ability with a couple of sound efforts in defeat, most notably finishing fourth in the Punchestown Gold Cup.

He filled the same position on his seasonal reappearance in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby at the start of this month and King is contemplating whether to let him take his chance in the feature event on Merseyside this weekend.

King said: "Medermit is in at Haydock. I'll have a word with the owners."
