Michael White should be all right if producing his normal game

Day three
Eurosport 1, 1pm Wednesday

With so many match favourites having bitten the dust in round one of the Northern Ireland Open, punters should tread carefully in the second of the Home Nations series events.

One market leader who ought to press on in Belfast if he's anywhere near his best is Michael White, whose reward for defeating Mark Joyce 4-0 is a last-64 crack at Eden Sharav.

Scotland representative Sharav, a 4-3 victor over Li Yuan in his opener, has been in decent nick himself, so only brave­hearts will be staking heavily at this stage of the tournament.

But providing White plays his normal game, he's different class to his opponent.

Chris Wakelin is capable of making life tough for Tom Ford but is another who doesn't always bring his A-game to the table.

Recommendation
M White
1pt 8-13 Coral, Ladbrokes
