Spotlight Lucky 15: four horses to back on Saturday
The best four Spotlight tips to include in a Lucky 15 bet today . . .
See The Fire 2.40 Newmarket
Well held behind Elmalka in the 1,000 Guineas, but unlike that rival she has improved since, edged out only narrowly in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood in August before beating colts and geldings with plenty in hand in the Group 3 Strensall at York (1m1f) six weeks ago; seems to handle most types of ground; may still be improving; very solid candidate.
Cymbidium 4.05 Southwell
Improved to win nursery debut when upped to 1m at Thirsk (Mayor Of Maghera third) last month, delivering a strong late bid; creditable fourth at Ayr two weeks ago when 7f was probably inadequate; with the return to 1m looking suit to suit, it would not surprise if she made this a winning AW debut.
Cruyff Turn 4.30 Redcar
Effective on good to firm and good to soft; triple course winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when making all to beat 11 rivals at Thirsk (7f, good) last month; back up 5lb in the weights but he was unchallenged last time and this return to 1m is no problem; key player for yard that has won five of the last eight renewals.
Vintage Clarets 4.45 Ascot
He'd been bubbling away prior to capitalising on a good opportunity at Chester two weeks ago (5f, good to soft), produced down the outside to win with much more authority than the neck margin suggests (idled a bit when hitting the front); a 3lb rise still leaves him well handicapped on even his 2024 best; has run to form on each of his three visits to Ascot and he's a strong contender in a race that should be run to suit.
