Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back on Wednesday

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.

Dandy Magic 1.03 Newcastle
Opened her account in 6f handicap here in November (AW debut; second start for new yard) and the runner-up has advertised that form since; big player provided she's as effective back at 5f.

Al Farabi 2.33 Newcastle
0-7 in handicaps but ran encouragingly dropped to 5f at Southwell most recently (second start for new yard) and may build on that effort; interesting contender, being unexposed at this distance.

Beccali 7.30 Kempton
Improved with each of his three qualifying runs and he took another good step forward when justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; up 6lb for that small-field win but he finished well to score with authority and is open to more progress at this new trip; big player.

Haaland 8.00 Kempton
Three wins for Gay Kelleway in 2023 at up to 2m (including on Polytrack) and he returned from a long absence with a close fifth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 12 days ago, when he was unlucky in running in the home straight; key player if building on that latest promise.

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.
