Hope and Chris King make plates for this. So to use a CK inset 7 (which I think is the same spec as your headset you want to use?) with a 1 1/8 steerer you would get the 'devolution baseplate' to go from 1 1/8 - 1 1/2.
Edit: seems Cane creek do too? https://r2-bike.com/CANE-CREEK-crown-race-40er-series-EC-ZS-IS52-1-1-2-reducer-to-1-1-8-steel

I can buy a cane creek 110 ec44/33 for about £65. But I’d like to move away from the 1.25” headset if possible
The Cane Creek will last 110 years, which is longer than you or the fork (or probably Cane Creek) will last. Might as well go that route rather than fitting an adapter crown race just to get a 1.5" lower bearing.

Going into a straight 44mm tube
You've got to look on the bright side, at least you're not stuck with one of those frames (mostly Cannondales) which will only take a 1.25 lower 🙂

No-brainer then.

Sorry to be asking this again... I’ve got a fork with a 1.25” tapered steerer. Going into a straight 44mm tube I would be looking for an ec44/30 headset. Is there a crown race out there that will let me use a ec44/40 headset that isn’t the lauf one? As far as I can tell it’s got a bit of an awkward bearing angle.
My searching isn’t really being very successful, I can buy a cane creek 110 ec44/33 for about £65. But I’d like to move away from the 1.25” headset if possible as it seems pretty obscure.
