Selenium + XPath: can 'following-sibling' be used for next element only?

There is a simplified html table

<table>
    .....
    <tr/>
    <tr class="base"/>
    <tr class="check"/>
    <tr/>
    <tr class="base2"/>
    <tr class="check"/>
    .....
</table>

With selenium I have an element with class "base" found early.

var row = table.FindElement(By.ClassName("base"));

I need to get next row with class 'check' but only in case that it is present (otherwise an exception). 

var nextRow = row.FindElement(By.XPath("following-sibling::tr[@class='check'][1]")

The problem is that this xpath gives me row with class 'check' after row with class 'base2' in case row after my class is absent.

Is it possible by 'following-sibling' to verify onle next element but not all of them?

Try this with CSS locator - tr[class='base'] + tr[class='check']

Will return next row if class 'check' else nothing.

If you want the Xpath :

//tr[@class='base']/following-sibling::tr[1][@class='check']
