Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back on 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.

Lequinto 5.00 Wolverhampton
His last win was in June 2023 but he's dropped a long way in the weights and was an eyecatching third at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last Tuesday when not getting any luck; could be a big factor if he gets the breaks.

Royal Zabeel 6.30 Woverhampton
Lightly raced four-year-old who has produced two good performances (over 7f) since joining shrewd new connections and switched to the all-weather, finishing second at Newcastle then going one better at Southwell; the type to improve further in this sphere and rack up a sequence; one to follow.

Where's Freddy 7.00 Wolverhampton
Both wins at Newmarket; ran encouragingly at Chelmsford (7f; second all-weather attempt) last month, coming from a difficult position and meeting traffic issues; likely player granted better luck.

Gustav Graves 7.30 Wolverhampton
Five wins here, four at 5f, including this race last year off 3lb higher; losing run up to 12 but 14lb below last winning mark and only beaten two lengths into fifth in a better race at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last Thursday; respected if this race sets up for his closing style.

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.
