Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Doncaster, Fairyhouse, Newbury and Newcastle 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.

Excelero 2.25 Newbury
Unexposed 4yo who has solid form and is much better off with Salver on Warwick running last November (debut); finished third, behind subsequent scorers, at Kempton in May when last seen; attractively treated and looks an interesting contender on handicap debut.

Kandoo Kid 3.00 Newbury
Consistent novice chaser (mostly at 2m3f-2m5f) last season, bar a blip over 3m when the distance didn't seem entirely to blame; creditable third in the Topham at Aintree (soft) on final start, again shaping as if he's worth another crack at further; had wind surgery (his third) since; record of 212 at Newbury bodes well and he's nicely prepped, having taken part in a racecourse gallop here last week; respected.

Some Scope 3.20 Newcastle
Made mistakes when pulled up on reappearance at Cheltenham but trainer said "a couple of issues came to light afterwards"; had wind surgery since that run; enjoyed progressive first campaign over fences last term, featuring two wins (3m1f/3m, good to soft/good), and this 6yo retains potential.

Issar D'Airy 3.35 Newbury
Second-season chaser who posted a very solid effort (form has substance) at Ascot on reappearance and remains open to further progress; 2-2 over C&D and looks interesting back here.

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.
