Saint Roi made favourite to gain revenge on Abacadabras Paddy Power have opened up an early market for the Matheson Hurdle at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting. The Grade 1 contest looks a possible venue for a rematch between Abacadabras and Saint Roi after their clash in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown last Sunday. It was a race that produced more questions than answers with Saint Roi looking unlucky in running and the winner idling in the closing stages as his rival got to within a neck at the line. The bookmaker said:- "With all the talk on Sunday around Saint Roi being unlucky & the best horse not winning the Morgiana, we have priced up the Matheson Hurdle at Leopardstown where we think Abacadabras & Saint Roi will lock horns again" Paddy Power: 7-4 Saint Roi, 5-2 Abacadabras, 5 Aspire Tower, 10 Jason The Militant, Sharjah, 14 Saldier, 20 Coeur Sublime, 25 Supasundae
