Formscan By John O'Riordan - WHITE SMOKE(8) looks to have everything in her favour and, the Michael Grassick-trained filly can make the breakthrough. Arguably at her best over 5f on good ground, she has seldom had the opportunity to race under those optimum conditions. Well drawn and, with first-time blinkers applied, this looks a good opportunity to gain that elusive winning bracket. Sparky Sparky, who stayed on well when runner-up at Cork last month, shouldn't be far away. The cheekpieces, which seemed to bring about improvement on that occasion, are retained now. Ennoble unseated rider early at Navan on his seasonal debut but had shown enough on a few occasions last term to suggest that he can get involved.
