Spotlight Lucky 15: four horses to back on Monday

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

Caldwell 2.20 Ayr
Running with consistent credit on the Flat and over hurdles since his Worcester win in July (2m, good) and took a step forward on soft ground when he made a winning start to his chasing career at Hexham (2m) in good style 16 days ago; not proven over this far but just 1lb higher today, with chase mark another 5lb higher, and he's very well handicapped on that form.

Home Free Ayr 3.28
Off the mark over fences at second attempt, winning much more cosily than neck margin suggests at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) three weeks ago; only 4lb higher here and won't mind what the weather does; obvious contender.

Laudable 4.10 Newcastle
Has largely remained in form since completing a turf hat-trick in August/September; very solid second, splitting subsequent winners, in course-and-distance contest (all-weather debut) most recently; on a career-high mark after a 4lb rise but strongly respected.

Darlo Pride 7.00 Southwell
Progressive for Anthony Carson last winter, winning four at 6f and 5f and going 22lb up the weights; back on last successful mark and offered more over 6f here last time, when hitting traffic, so high on the shortlist.
