Mr Hollywood brought a high degree of flat class to the table in the two-mile-six-furlong maiden hurdle, sponsored by Tote, and backed up his Queen Alexandra Stakes third with a gritty first success over hurdles.Brian Hayes timed his challenge nicely on Ronnie Lawrie’s former German Derby second and justified 2/1 favouritism to beat a back-to-form Jeroboam Machin.Mullins said: “He’s improving and his jumping will improve. Probably a trip to York for the Ebor might be next on the agenda.
