Spotlight Lucky 15: four horses to back on Thursday

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

Destroytheevidence 1.40 Newbury
Justified favouritism at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last month in a novice handicap chase that his stable landed a year earlier with the subsequently smart Chianti Classico; bright prospect who could well defy a 5lb rise.

Hot To Dot 2.00 Southwell
Made a winning debut at Pontefract (5f, soft) in April, but not seen again until well held on her Catterick return (7f, soft) early last month; much better when beaten a neck on nursery/AW debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) nine days ago (clear of the third); 4lb well in and high on list.

Jkr Cobbler 2.45 Newcastle
Major return to form for last week's C&D 0-60 success (RPR 71), travelling easiest and over 4l too good; 3lb well in despite the penalty, and he's defied marginally higher on turf; big player.

The Kniphand 3.35 Ludlow
Off the mark over fences at third attempt, with clearcut success at Southwell (3m, good) on last month's seasonal debut; should be fine on this right-handed track and recent 5lb rise does not look excessive; good chance.
