Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Plumpton, Southwell and Wolverhampton Monday

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.

Alien Storm 1.10 Plumpton
Successful chase debut over 2m1f here in September and similar sort of form in finishing third the last twice (all on good ground); didn't make life easy for himself by running in snatches the last time but shouldn't be far away over a longer trip that could suit him well.

Easter Icon  2.52 Southwell
Four-timer Flat winner (including on good to soft ground) who won on his handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August before a good third at Ascot (2m3f, good) last month; Isabelle Ryder remains on board having ridden him the last twice; holds solid claims.

My Turn Now 4.30 Wolverhampton
Her first win came over course-and-distance in February and the second was after wind surgery at Chelmsford (5f) last month; caused a surprise with that 25-1 win but she battled well to beat Suanni and going back up 3lb  looks fair; big player again.

Virtual Hug 6.30 Wolverhampton
Three-time course winner who is on a handy mark; mixed results over 1m6f of late but interesting back down in trip, having been successful in last two course-and-distance attempts.

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.
