CALIFET EN VOL finished with a notable late flourish to come out on top over an inadequate test in the Sidney Banks at Huntingdon and, with his previous second to The New Lion reading extremely well in light of that one's Cheltenham Festival exploits, Nicky Henderson's 6-y-o makes plenty of appeal now stepping up to 3m. There's surely more to come from Grade 3 winner Jacob's Ladder on his first try at a staying trip, with Mister Meggit another to note following his stylish win in the autumn.
