Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Ascot, Haydock and Hereford on Saturday

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.

Kotmask 1.15 Ascot
Useful novice chaser last term; continues to give the strong impression that he'll win another good handicap sooner or later and he's performed respectably behind the progressive Martator (stablemate of Galop De Chasse) in his two visits here this season (2m1f, good; perhaps better on softer and over further); much respected.

Regatta De Blanc 1.38 Hereford
Looked very promising in points/hunter chases for Will Biddick last season and has been placed on both starts for Paul Nicholls this autumn, more recently when second in Ascot handicap chase (3m, good) four weeks ago; may still have potential; likely contender.

Famous Bridge 2.05 Haydock
Won over C&D (soft) last November and followed up in this race (heavy); he's just 2lb higher than 12 months ago and he reappeared with a good second at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in October; solid claims.

Strong Leader 2.25 Ascot
Very useful at 2m but proving better at 3m, over which he won the Grade 1 at Aintree last April (good to soft); did what was expected of him when odds-on for the Long Distance Hurdle 22 days ago (soft) and that Newbury Grade 2 has been the definitive guide to this down the years; standout credentials.

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.
