Smith then reduced the gap to six points through a good penalty, yet Thorley put Gloucester clear courtesy of an impressive finish that highlighted a strong individual performance and Quins had no way of coming back.
As the clock ticked down, Quins went in search of a losing bonus, but Gloucester comfortably denied them and finally got their love campaign going.
