Countrywide Flame: Leading Cesarewitch fancy

Ante-post favourite Countrywide Flame features among a maximum field of 34 runners in the Betfred Cesarewitch at Newmarket on Saturday.

John Quinn's Triumph Hurdle winner made a winning return to the Flat at Chester last month, picking up a 4lb penalty that guaranteed him a place in this weekend's prestigious handicap.

The four-year-old will break from stall seven, with Jimmy Quinn booked to ride.

Market rival Hurricane Higgins is drawn in stall 19 for Mark Johnston and Joe Fanning, while Irish raider Olympiad is even higher in 33.

Other leading contenders in a wide-open contest include Motivado (13), Aidan O'Brien's I Have A Dream (36) and Tominator (3), who has his first start for trainer Jonjo O'Neill.

The top weight and 2010 Cesarewitch hero Aaim To Prosper is drawn lowest of all in stall one.

Connections of Montaser (20) face an anxious wait to see if he will make the field as he is currently first reserve.

Eagle Rock (8) is second reserve for Tom Tate.

The most high-profile horse to miss the cut was the Sir Mark Prescott-trained Repeater.
