Jack Davison hoping for Group One breakthrough with She’s Quality

Jack Davison is confident She’s Quality can prove she is just that when attempting to end her run of near-misses in the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York.

The four-year-old has been a regular raider to Britain this term, but so far has just fallen short, finishing second in all four outings – most recently when behind John and Sean Quinn’s reopposing Jm Jungle at Goodwood.

However, Davison has always seen the Knavesmire as the perfect place for his model of consistency to excel and she is backed to peak when it matters most to register a first success at Group One level.

“Ultimately she’s just been beaten by better horses on the day in her previous runs this season so I won’t make any excuses,” said Davison when analysing his charge’s season to date.

“What I will say though is I think she has learned a lot about sprinting in those four performances which will hopefully be in her favour on Friday and I think she has a very good chance of getting that number one by her name.

“It’s obvious that a quick five-furlongs on fast ground is exactly what she needs and this is the standout Group One option for her this year.

“We’ve been working towards it all season and I do think she thrives at this time of year which is another positive for a filly, so we’re really looking forward to it.”

She’s Quality is currently a best price of 10-1 for Nunthorpe glory, a race last won by the Irish when Edward Lynam’s Sole Power struck for the second time at York in 2014.
