Spotlight Lucky 15: four horses to back at Cheltenham on Saturday

The best four Spotlight tips to include in a Lucky 15 bet today . . .

What is a Lucky 15?

A Lucky 15 is one of the most popular multiple bets among horseracing punters and the clue is in the name as a Lucky 15 consists of 15 bets on four selections in different events. That equals four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a fourfold accumulator.

The beauty of the Lucky 15 is that only one selection of four must win to guarantee a return and the majority of bookmakers will offer incentives to play the bet.

East India Dock 12.35 Cheltenham
Slow burner on the Flat but developed into a useful stayer for James Fanshawe; looks a nice prospect for juvenile hurdles after winning without much fuss at Wincanton (1m7f, good; up with the pace) and the runner-up was of similar Flat ability; half-brother to Burdett Road who won this last year for the same connections.

Imagine 2.20 Cheltenham
Steadily progressive for Gordon Elliott until a disappointing effort on last appearance; subsequently bought for €320,000 at the Caldwell dispersal sale in February; ran well over hurdles at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival (2m4f) and he is 2-3 over fences, with possibly still more to offer (should rebound); overall form stacks up well; very interesting on debut for Harry Derham who has an excellent record with recruits from other stables, particularly at the first attempt and when fresh.

Zeeband 2.55 Cheltenham
Usually ridden over hurdles by Jack Gilligan; won a maiden and three handicaps this year over hurdles, latterly when getting up in the final strides over 2m7f at Killarney (good) in July despite hanging left; unraced beyond that but he rallied well for an always-prominent second at Galway (2m6f) three weeks ago, again shaping as if well worth a go at 3m.

Hamsiyann 3.30 Cheltenham
Dual French Flat winner in 2023; had four hurdle races for new yard last term, hampered late on when close third in handicap at Ascot (extended 1m7f, good); 2lb higher today and has had just one Flat run since, in a never-nearer second when the stable had a one-two in the 2m2f Chester Plate in May; that points to a strength in stamina that's not been sufficiently tested yet over hurdles and he looks set to take a big step forward for Irish trainer who had a well-backed winner of this race in 2022.

How to calculate your Lucky 15 returns?

How much your bet returns will depend on how many selections win, and their respective odds. For example, if two of your selections win then you can expect to be paid on on two single bets, and a double of the two selections. If three selections win then you can expect to be paid out on three singles, three doubles and a treble, and so on.
