Has been operating below best in several recent handicaps. Finished 12th of 13 in handicap at Limerick (20/1) 21 days ago, going through the motions throughout. Visor returns today but improvement needed to make an impact.

Showed modest form in maiden/median auction starts before winning 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (10/1) 474 days ago, responding well when leading in the final furlong. Returns from a significant absence and drops down in trip. First run for a new trainer.

Second of 15 in a handicap at Gowran Park last October after slipping in the weights. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (50/1) 20 days ago, but reportedly suffered a slipped saddle. Worth another chance based on that better autumn form.

Changed stables before finishing fifth of 14 in handicap at Cork (18/1) 43 days ago, but was a well-beaten 11th of 12 at Gowran Park (17/2) 30 days ago after stumbling early. Needs to bounce back from that poor showing.

Ran creditably when third of 13 in a handicap at Navan (10f) 85 days ago. Finished third of 7 in a maiden at Limerick (5/2) 11 days ago, beaten 20 lengths after merely plugging on from off the pace. Back down in trip today with visor reapplied, which may suit better.

Runner-up in a handicap at this course last year over longer trip. Fourth of 16 in a 9f handicap at Leopardstown (10/1) 13 days ago, travelled fluently and kept on when switched over 1f out. Has been given a chance by the handicapper and appears well suited to this trip.

20:20 Tipperary - 2 July 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CRYPTO CRASH has been given a chance by the handicapper and took a significant step forward when a fluent-travelling fourth at Leopardstown recently. Pink Socks can be forgiven her last run after suffering a slipped saddle and is worth another chance based on her autumn form. Step To Somewhere drops back to a more suitable trip today, while Limestone Red in first-time blinkers could show improvement.
