Birmingham-born David Evans has been training for over thirty years, and so far has sent out well over 1800 winners under both codes, at home and abroad. Assisted by his wife Emma, he is based at the picturesque Ty Derlwyn Farm, in the shadow of the Black Mountains, at Pandy, near Abergavenny in south Wales.

Since the introduction of all-weather racing, David has been one of the top trainers on the surface. Despite his reputation as an all-weather specialist, he is even more effective at training winners on turf. He has enjoyed success in Group and Listed races, including the Group 2 Duke of York Hearthstead Homes Stakes at York, the Group 3 Greenland Stakes at The Curragh, and the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood. He even won a Group race in Ireland with Dingle View, before going on to win the Norwegian 1,000 Guineas.

In 2021 David was in the spotlight due to the spectacular success of Rohaan, who came to the yard as a twice-raced maiden, and within 9 months had gone up over 60lbs in the handicap, after winning seven races including the Group 3 Pavilion Stakes at Ascot, the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock, and the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot!
