Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Ascot, Southwell, Uttoxeter and Wolverhampton on Friday

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

Double Powerful 12.45 Ascot
Held up; steady progress from lowly beginnings since he went handicapping and he's now won six in a row, the latest when favourite in 16-runner race at Cheltenham (2m5f, good; acts on soft) five weeks ago; raised 7lb since that last-to-first display but it's very hard to rule out better still.

Taras Halls 1.30 Uttoxeter
Ran well in defeat over hurdles last season (at about 2m4f) and this is more realistic than taking on Caldwell Potter in a novice chase at Carlisle (2m; hood tried but now removed with cheekpieces retained); possible.

Dashing Panther 3.27 Southwell
Lightly raced 5yo who has finished well to score at Chelmsford (1m5f/1m6f) in his last two starts; 8lb higher than for his last success but he made it 2-3 on AW with that emphatic win and is open to more progress on this step up to 2m; major player again in hat-trick bid.

Parramount 7.00 Wolverhampton
A bumper and triple hurdle winner, he got off the mark on the Flat over C&D last month off 4lb lower with Jack Doughty riding him for the first time (retains ride here); strong claims in follow-up bid.

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.
