Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Doncaster, Musselburgh and Newbury on Friday

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.

Hapy La Vie 1.45 Musselburgh
Front-runs; progressive 3m chaser in 2023 who wasn't seen after September that year and did well to win back hurdling at Ayr (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces left off, refitted today) last month, when beating a subsequent dual winner; 7lb higher than latest chase win but bold bid likely.

Heltenham 2.30 Newbury
Took a heavy fall on last appearance and remains on career-high mark; however, commands plenty of respect back at Newbury, being 3-3 over C&D, the most recent success in March (beat Sir Psycho by a neck).

Noble Anthem 2.40 Doncaster
Probably flattered by his proximity in a tactical novice chase at Cheltenham last month and has since had his limitations exposed in a Grade 2 there; however, he's back at a much more realistic level today and still has plenty of scope to progress from his convincing handicap win at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) three starts ago.

Woodie Flash 3.40 Newbury
Improving in the spring and he returned to action in even better form at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft; acts well on heavy) this month where he responded well to a confident ride and easily gave weight and a beating to a subsequent winner; up 7lb but still on the upgrade.

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.
