I am stuck on top right

10a Direly anxious if a priest needs help (6)
* * R * * *

13a Dine without fish during revolution (5-2)
* * A * * / UP

4d Asians harbour Alexander's courtesan (5)
T * * * *

6d Last nurse to hold top-rate midfielder (4-3)
T * * * / * * D

Explanations please

23d Note GP is in France (5)
Why is it MEDIC ? ME = note (do,ray,me), but don't follow DIC

19d Short term for mate in America (7)
ACRONYM = crony inside AM:- but why should we infer AM for America; it seems increasingly that compilers use ANY initial or abbreviation to represent a word.

4d Thais (asians) ... also companion of Alexander the Great

13a S(hake) Up
I, too, thought "acronym" with AM for America a pretty poor do, ditto I wasn't that impressed by 26ac.
it could just as easily, and more acceptably, have been 'a mate in the morning'
Agree about Am --- but Chambers gives it as an abbreviation for America. Mores the pity!
