Forecasts

Arcland (6/4), Omakase (5/1), Slieve Bearnagh (7/1), Waystar (10/1), You Make Me Smile (10/1), Red Secret (14/1), Whispering Hopes (14/1), Crypto Crash (14/1), Folly Beach (16/1), Noble Hilltop (16/1), Maxwell Smart (18/1), Lightning Legs (25/1), Highland Bells (25/1), Sunny Dude (28/1), Bright Start (28/1), Serotonin (33/1), Futurum Regem (40/1), Steps In The Sand (50/1), Gamigin (50/1), Calmafterthestorm (50/1), Slaney Swagger (66/1), Kings Prince (66/1), Ally Cay (80/1)

CRYPTO CRASH doesn't have many miles on the clock and stepped forward from his reappearance when sixth in a 14-runner Leopardstown handicap last time. He may be able to improve again and break his maiden at the expense of Whispering Hopes who was unlucky not to score over hurdles last time and could gain some compensation back on the Flat, while handicap debutante Noble Hilltop could be better than she showed over inadequate trips in maidens.
