Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Sandown, Exeter, Sedgefield and Newcastle on Friday

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

Lord Of Thunder 1.00 Exeter
Impressed in winning two Wincanton novices (2m4f soft; 2m5f heavy) last season and trainer wasn't fazed by him making his chase debut at Cheltenham (2m4f handicap, good), where he had jumped well until falling two out whilst holding every chance; highly likely that he's very well handicapped.

Langton Wold 2.20 Sedgefield
Yet to make any significant further progress since winning C&D maiden (good to soft) last Boxing Day but the form of last month's C&D (good) third has been very well advertised by the winner (Clean Getaway) and the second since.

Hoe Joly Smoke 3.03 Sandown
Runner-up on handicap hurdle debut at Newbury (3m, good to soft) last December and returned from absence for promising second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October on first chase start, behind a well-handicapped winner; open to further improvement now back up in trip; tongue-tie goes on.

Penzance 3.13 Newcastle
Challenging for the lead and going well when pulled up in the voided stalls-stuck-on-track race at Chelmsford last month; has form figures of 211112 otherwise over 1m2f on AW, most recently second off 3lb higher in the Easter Classic here on Good Friday; solid claims.

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.
