NEXT Saturday's Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket could see a clash between unbeaten juveniles Desert Castle and Darkness Falls.

Godolphin's Desert Castle is the early favourite for the seven-furlong Group 1. By Frankel, he won the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster last month by an easy three lengths.

Darkness Falls is already a Group 1 winner, having raced away with the newly-upgraded Golden Fleece Stakes at Leopardstown by over four lengths in mid-September. Aidan O'Brien's colt, by Camelot, had only made his racecourse debut two weeks earlier.

A slight concern for Darkness Falls is that his two races to-date have come over a mile and nine furlongs, and so he would be taking a significant drop in trip should he line up at Newmarket.

Coolmore have also entered Great Barrier Reef, the Coventry Stakes winner who was carrying a Group 2 penalty when he lost out by a neck to Push The Boat Out in a Group 3 event in August.

The Newmarket card also features the Club Godolphin Cesarewitch. Heading the market for this staying handicap is last year's winner Beylerbei. Trained by Ian Williams, he was an eye-catching fifth in the Ebor Handicap before finishing second to Caballo De Mar in the Group 2 Doncaster Cup last month.
