Verdict
HOLLYWOOD GEORGE looks well positioned for the picture perfect finish in a poor contest where City For Conquest and Mickleberry could also score. The selection has shown that he'll act on the fibre sand which is always a good place to start from after placing here over distance on his penultimate start. A winner over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton in April last year shows he can get up with some better form on this surface than rivals then the long wait for the next gold could be over. City For Conquest has form to overcome on the selection after finishing well back from him on his last outing. Fresher this time he can certainly get closer but with the pick still receiving weight then a place could be all connections can hope for. Mickleberry has been running well in similar contests on the turf but with best form coming on good ground the cut in the Southwell surface may not suit and Hollywood George should be the star here.
