Mab Dab won the three mile one furlong handicap hurdle at Plumpton today.  Ridden by Marc Goldstein, and under top weight, he was settled at the rear early but well in touch.  He moved closer going out on the final circuit and took the lead entering the railway bend for the last time.  He went six or more lengths clear coming to the straight but began to tire.  The eventual runner up began to close but Mab Dab was just able to hold on, winning by half a length.  He jumped well; and seemed to appreciate the good to firm going in this his handicap debut, so hopefully there is more success to come for him and his owner Tony Betteridge.
