Nigel’s fight for the small man

Few people characterise the British national hunt racing scene better than Nigel Twiston-Davies. A countryman at heart, he is also a rugged and independent voice within the sport and Declan Colley found out what makes him tick.

GRANGE HILL Farm is situated halfway between the hamlets of Guiting Power and Naunton in the rolling Cotswold countryside, where the characteristic honey-coloured native limestone lends a warm hue to an already idyllic rural canvas.

It is from these rolling hills that Nigel Twiston-Davies sends out a string of horses which, over the years, has been nothing short of remarkable in both its collective consistency and ability.
