In depth
Verdict
Jeremy Noseda rarely has a two-year-old running at this early stage of the season and AUTUMNS BLUSH is obviously well forward. He wasn't beaten far on his debut at Newmarket last month, when subsequent Windsor third Mimi Luke was well behind, and can build on that to land this under Kieren Fallon. My Little Friend is more speedily bred than fellow newcomer Bush Beauty but the stable's juveniles invariably need their first run.
