Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back 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.

Westerninthepark 12.30 Aintree
Progressive six-year-old; reappeared with a commanding win on chasing debut at Stratford (2m5f, heavy) and performed even better when second to an unexposed rival at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) next time; may not have reached his ceiling just yet and he looks the one to beat.

Arlecchino's Rex 1.12 Wolverhampton
Much improved back from four months off (gelded) when readily justifying market support on course-and-distance nursery debut last month; that form has been franked by the second/third and even a 9lb rise looks more than fair, particularly from a good draw.

Cruz Control 1.35 Wetherby
Well beaten on his return from a break but that was over hurdles and he progressed well last season as a chaser, making all in the 3m1f handicap on Grand National day and then a respectable fourth at Punchestown; only a seven-year-old and remains on a competitive mark; won here over hurdles.

Spillane's Tower 2.30 Kempton
All starts have been on softer than good; completed Grade 1 double in the spring (2m4f/3m1f, heavy/yielding), the second leg in the Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown, and he improved again to finish a close second in a red-hot running of the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial at Punchestown (2m3f, soft) last month; this exciting six-year-old could continue to progress now back up in trip; appealing 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.
