WHITEOUT has been brought along steadily after her victory on the Flat in France but has still managed two more victories. She's likely to be capable of scoring in better company in time and can continue her success. Kabjoy was almost 5l behind her at Punchestown last month and looks held but Ballychorus has been running well over further and with the shorter trip in her favour can give the selection something to think about. Love On Top has been badly out of form since landing a Gowran handicap in November.
