Tabloid's florid chief (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red-top

'tabloid's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'florid chief' is the wordplay.
'florid' becomes 'red' (I've seen this before).
'chief' becomes 'top' (synonyms).
'red'+'top'='RED-TOP'

(Another definition for red-top that I've seen is " Tabloid newspaper".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
