GOVEN, a dual winner on the Flat in France, couldn't get close to stable companion Sir Gerhard at Leopardstown but will have come on markedly for the experience. Hiaou ran well behind the smart Eric Bloodaxe at Naas and was in touch when brought down two out at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day. Killer Mode landed a Naas bumper before beaten just under a length by Bronn in a maiden hurdle there a fortnight ago with winning bumper Hey Johnny a long way behind. Fairy Tree and Homard De Chausey were engaged at Fairyhouse yesterday.
