FormscanBy John O'Riordan - STARTING MONDAY could represent a bit of value having run much better than his final placing at Listowel recently. The five-year-old was bumped leaving the stalls but did remarkably well to get back into the race. He was then in the process of launching a challenge down the outside of the field when hampered for a second time over a furlong out. Cosmic Vega has dropped a long way in the handicap in recent times but has hinted at a revival on his last few starts. With the Michael Halford stable back among the winners of late, he holds an obvious chance. Previous course and distance winners, Dragon Of Malta and Kodiac Prince are running well enough to give them chances in what looks a very open contest.
