Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Wincanton, Leicester and Chelmsford on Thursday

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.

Sparkling Duke 1.35 Wincanton
Lightly raced 5yo who rallied for promising fourth of 18 at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago on his third handicap start; there's stamina in his pedigree and this step back up in trip could prove ideal.

Passing Kate 3.35 Leicester
7lb above her last winning mark but she's a consistent mare who will enjoy these conditions and she returns from a break with her yard fresh from a double at Ludlow last week, including a win for this mare's half-sister Olivia Kate.

Profitman 7.10 Chelmsford
Below par in cheekpieces (now removed) here last time; has a record of 122 over C&D when not wearing headgear; remains of interest.

Elterwater 8.10 Chelmsford
The return to 1m saw her get off the mark at the eighth attempt, finishing off strongly in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; that run was backed up by the Topspeed figure and she hasn't been dealt a harsh blow with a 3lb rise; strong 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.
