GARY ANDERSON used horsepower to trot over Croat giant Boris Krcmar.

- CRAIG SWAN

The Flying Scotsman will face Brendan Dolan tonight in the last 16 of the Paddy Power World Championship after hurdling the burly Balkan.

Massive Krcmar is regarded as the scariest man on the circuit but Anderson stylishly ended his Ally Pally race.

And defending champ Michael Smith saw his own race run as Chris Dobey white-washed Bully Boy 4-0 in the final showdown of the night.

Before that, two-time champ Anderson ran smoothly to give another indication he's a serious runner in the hat-trick bid.

The 53-year-old is motivated by critics who keep writing him off but quipped he also needs to continue winning to get an equine gift for daughter Cheylea.
