Ryan Moore column: views on my rides at Newmarket on Saturday

Watch and read what the top jockey and World Pool ambassador has to say about his rides at the Dubai Future Champions Festival at Newmarket on Saturday.
Newmarket | Race 1: G3 Darley Stakes
HAATEM won in Kentucky on his last start and is a very tough, consistent older horse.
He has been a great horse for his connections and looks to have every chance once again. He’ll hopefully be there or thereabouts.
Newmarket | Race 2: G3 Zetland Stakes
DRUMBEAT is a nice colt. He won his maiden at Gowran Park before being placed in the Beresford Stakes.
He’ll be well suited by middle distances in time and is progressing with every start at two-years-old.
Newmarket | Race 3: G3 Autumn Stakes
SERGEI DIAGHILEV was second to Desert Castle in the Champagne after winning a Listed race at Gowran Park.
He actually went off favourite for the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, but the five furlongs [1000m] was too sharp for him.
He’s a likable colt that’ll be suited by the step up to a mile [1600m].
Newmarket | Race 4: G1 Dewhurst Stakes
DARKNESS FALLS won his maiden impressively when making all at the Curragh before winning the new Group 1 on Irish Champions Weekend, the HKJC World Pool Golden Fleece, where he was very impressive.
He drops back to seven furlongs [1400m] here, but he showed a lot of pace that day. He jumped and travelled well, and he’s an exciting colt.
Great Barrier Reef also takes his chance.
He won his first three starts including the Coventry Stakes, but he had a little bit of a setback after that and started back off at the Curragh at the end of August.
He carried a penalty and ran a very good race without winning. I think the step up to this trip will suit him.
Darkness Falls could be a horse for the Guineas that steps up to the Derby trip, whilst Great Barrier Reef will only get up to a mile [1600m], so I can see them going in different directions next year.
Newmarket | Race 5: Cesarewitch Handicap
DAWN RISING is an older horse that we know plenty about.
He was placed in this race previously and is on a mark that he should be competitive from.
The Cesarewitch is always a competitive race and it’s no different this year with 29 runners.
He ran well in this race last year when finishing second to Beylerbeyi and we meet him on more favourable terms at the weights this time around.
He stays well, he’s nicely drawn and he should run well.
