The son of jumps trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies, William has been appointed as the stable jockey to Mick Channon after Martin Harley left to ride for Marco Botti at the end of the last flat season.
Speaking on www.mickchannon.tv the trainer said: “William Twiston Davies will step into Martin’s role and we’re delighted that he’s agreed to ride for us next season, Like Martin when he joined us, William is a young jockey on the up and I’m looking forward to the season ahead with him riding.
“He’s a good lad with a strong family background. He’s also done time under Richard Hannon and all of that makes for a hard working, disciplined and conscientious character, able to work with a team.
“The fact that he’s a bloody good jockey also has something to do with it.
“As ever, there’s no contractual agreement laid out – just a handshake and an understanding. Some of our owners already have their own jockeys and that won’t change but William will invariably ride as first choice.
“We’ll have the usual lads riding as well with Sam Hitchcott and Charlie Bishop an invaluable part of the operation whilst our apprentice Daniel Cremin is improving all the time.
