FormscanBy Michael Graham - CALL OF THE JUNGLE has placed form on rain-softened ground and looks the one to beat. After a runner-up finish at Listowel in September, she signed off for the last campaign in October with a third place in Limerick. She should be all the better for her unplaced run on seasonal debut at Leopardstown on fast ground. Gulf Of Aidan showed much more ability when third over six furlongs in Naas. She had a first-time tongue-strap which is retained for this assignment. Jockey Billy Lee has had a very good June, and will be targeting another victory with this filly. Forcing tactics saw 200/1 shot Lough Swilly Pearl run well for a long way over an extended seven furlongs at Tipperary. She was ultimately caught inside the final furlong by the easy winner, but you could envisage the same tactics being employed again over this shorter trip.
