Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back on Sunday

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.

Shot Boii 12.15 Chepstow
Ridden prominently; acts on heavy and stays well; sole chase win (11 attempts) came off 3lb lower at Hereford one year ago; not far off that form when putting up a bold show at Lingfield four weeks ago, which puts him into serious calculations.

Carismatic Soldier 12.45 Chepstow
Second in a bumper at Huntingdon (soft) in March showed plenty of ability, as did his staying-on second of six in novice hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, heavy; 4-5) one month ago; he'll hopefully have more confidence in his jumping this time and looks the standout candidate on form.

Captain Boudet 2.25 Chepstow
0-6 over hurdles but gave a very good account when third in 18-runner handicap here (2m3f, good to soft) in November and has some Irish pointing experience to call upon on this chasing debut; tongue-tie added; could be the answer.  

Dangerous Touch 2.55 Chepstow
Did not emerge from the rear division in first two hurdling races but his fourth at Warwick (2m, good to soft) in November was a big step forward; upped in trip for this handicap debut and can improve again.

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.
