Although MALFOY MANOR failed to progress over hurdles last season the fact he went off at 2/1 for his handicap debut on final start suggests he's thought capable of better and he's joined the excellent Dan Skelton yard ahead of his chase debut/reappearance. Footloose Man needs considering back at the scene of his win in August. Jongleur d'Etolies might need longer trips before we see the very best of him over fences but he was prolific in handicap hurdles and is still respected on chase debut.
