Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Ascot, Pontefract and Brighton on Wednesday

The best four Spotlight tips to include in a Lucky 15 bet today . . .

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.

Duran 3.23 Ascot - @3-1
Progressive 3yo, winning three times (5f to 6f); ran right up to his best at Beverley on his seasonal return (5f, good) two weeks ago, challenging in the final furlong but unable to repel the late thrust of a progressive sprinter; mark left unchanged and there could well be more to come this year; Tom Marquand 3-14 for the stable with a further five placed; big run expected.

My Cloud 4.30 Ascot - @7-4
Had a straightforward task in weak novice event at Newcastle (1m, AW) when last seen but scored by a very wide margin, taking form figures to 221; bred to rate higher still and take well to Ascot, being half-brother to Palace Pier whose Group 1 haul featured two wins here; respected.

Kats Bob 4.38 Pontefract - @15-8
Flourished since joining Ruth Carr, winning handicaps at Newcastle (twice) and Southwell before completing his four-timer in fine style at Thirsk last week; made all on that occasion but he doesn't have to lead; unpenalised here and holds strong claims of making it 5-5 for William Pyle.

Royal Accord 4.45 Brighton - @5-2
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when coming from off the pace to win a 6f handicap at Lingfield (also raced wide) this month and backed that up nine days later with a solid second off 5lb higher at Wolverhampton over 5f (again AW), despite fluffing the start; same mark here and he also ran well on this forecast good to firm ground at Bath three starts back; could be the answer.

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 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.
