Making her seventh start of the year, Miss Jungle Cat was defeated by the Ed Walker-trained Amichi by three-quarters of a length.

A son of the Dark Angel stallion Gutaifan, Amichi was coming off a 2-length win at Kempton.

Second over 7f at Newmarket at her most recent start, Miss Jungle Cat made a winning career debut at Musselburgh in April and added a second win three starts later at York.
