EVERYMANFORHIMSELF loves it here and can provide Darryll Holland with another winner from the plate, while Aegean Dancer and Fol Hollow are considered. Although he has a low draw, which is usually not advantageous on the Westwood, the selection has much more chance of overcoming that in the small field. He is back on his highest winning mark, so he has the ability to do the job, and this stiff track and fast ground look ideal. Aegean Dancer has a 13lb pull with Fol Hollow for being beaten just under a length here in April, so Bryan Smart's gelding has to be a confident choice to reverse those placings at today's weights and he can go close. Bo McGinty has won from higher marks than this, but it has been a long time between drinks for Richard Fahey's gelding and we will take him on again this time with the vote going to Everymanforhimself.
