Carry On Chaos

What gives the situation some genuine interest is the trainer. Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton in North Yorkshire has sent out 128 winners this season alone, which tells you this is not a small operation running on hope. When a stable of that size and output keeps putting a horse back on the track, they typically believe there is something worth finding. Carry On Chaos raced just one day ago, so the team are clearly not short of patience or entries.

At this stage, the honest verdict is that this is a young horse without a win or even a place finish to its name, trained by someone who clearly knows how to get results. The next few races will start to tell us whether Carry On Chaos is a work in progress or simply one of those horses that fills a lane without ever threatening the front.
