Is this suitable for a hedge?

I am looking for the species of this hedge, i'm not sure what cultivar of Ilex aquifolium it is? 'Alaska' seems to be the closest I can find.

Thank you

    Hi, Russ,
    I don't think it is 'Alaska' - the leaves aren't spiny enough. I almost wonder if it is Ilex 'Nellie R. Stevens' - a cross between I. aquifolium and I. cornuta - it makes a great hedge. Or, it could be Ilex aquifolium 'J.C. van Tol' (the photo here on Shoot shows more leaf spines than typical for this cultivar) which makes an excellent hedge.
