JOSIES ORDERS was impressive when gaining a third course and distance win last month and he's expected to be hard to beat again here. The French challengers are worthy of respect, particularly Amazing Comedy who is largely unexposed and ran a career best last time while Fact Of The Matter made a highly encouraging start to cross country life here last month and can't be dismissed.
