Up-and-coming trainer backs his improving filly to 'go all the way to the top' following close second at Newmarket's Guineas meeting

Upwardly mobile young trainer Jack Davison has hailed his smart four-year-old sprinter She’s Quality as potentially the best he has trained following her game second in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.

The 38-year-old Davison, who sent out a best-ever 19 domestic wins from his County Meath yard last season, trained the smart Group 2-winning sprinter Mooneista to finish fourth behind Nature Strip in the 2022 King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot. 

Beaten just a length and a quarter by Rumstar on her reappearance in Saturday's Group 3, She's Quality finished last season with a fifth in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes at the Irish Champions Festival on the Curragh and the 105-rated daughter of Acclamation is now being considered for the Temple Stakes at Haydock on May 24. 

Davison said: “I believe She’s Quality has more raw speed than Mooneista and I think she can go all the way to the top. She's potentially the best horse I've trained.

“We were thrilled with her run on Saturday. We've always had a very high opinion of her. She cost a lot of money as a yearling and won her Listed race emphatically last year. If she's going to compete at Group 1 level this year she needs to prove it first with a Group 2 or 3 win so she'll have an entry for the Temple Hill Stakes at Haydock.

“We had a feeling she had matured and that she would be a better four-year-old. I was confident we'd come in the first three on Saturday. She wants quick ground and a fast track so we need to work within that."
