Jimmy White is confident of making a return to the World Championship next month as he believes he is playing too well not to qualify. White has not reached the final stages of the tournament since 2006 but heads into the qualifiers starting on April 3 in bullish mood after a run of good performances, even after his hopes of making a ranking event quarter-final appearance at the age of 60 were ended by Pang Junxu at the WST Classic in Leicester.
