Inion Tiogair

The nine-year-old is trained by Grace Harris, whose yard in Shirenewton, Gwent has sent out 27 winners this season alone — a healthy, well-run operation that clearly knows how to place its horses well. Inion Tiogair's most recent win came at Chepstow on 11 April 2026, just this week, making this a profile written in the middle of a hot streak. Across its last six races, it has won three — a remarkable turnaround for a horse whose overall career record of 4 wins and 9 places from 25 races suggests a solid but unspectacular performer at Class 5 level, the bread-and-butter tier of British racing.

Add slightly wet or muddy ground and things get even more interesting. On that kind of surface, Inion Tiogair has won 2 of 7 races — roughly 1 in every 3 and a half — comfortably better than its overall average. It's a horse that wants conditions that suit it and a track it knows, and when it gets both at once, it becomes hard to beat. The jockey Conor Ring has been in the saddle for 12 of its 25 races, winning once together — a 1-in-12 partnership rate that is modest, though the horse's recent purple patch suggests that relationship might be developing.

First winning its race back on 6 January 2023 at Ludlow, Inion Tiogair has been a patient, slowly-built project. It isn't a horse that dominates the big occasions — Grace Harris's team has pointed it carefully at the right races, on the right ground, at the right track. When those stars align, as they did again just days ago, this nine-year-old delivers. A course specialist in the truest sense of the phrase.
