BIDDY THE BOSS was receiving 9lb from Cheb De Kerniviou when beating him half-a-length at Fairyhouse on New Year's Eve.

Cappacurry Zak had finished second between the flags before landing a veterans handicap at Limerick and is in good heart while Rocky's Silver scored over 2m6f here before well beaten over hurdles at Cork.
