Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back on Tuesday

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.

Montregard 3.40 Hereford
Half-brother to top-class chaser Protektorat; built upon promising debut when winning Warwick maiden (2m3f, good) in April and is open to considerable further improvement in handicaps this season; respected.

Petticoat Lucy 4.30 Exeter
Just 1-9 over hurdles but drew nicely clear on run-in to make winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in May; 6lb rise is manageable if she's fully tuned up after 160-day absence; might be the answer.

Lynwood Lad 5.30 Wolverhampton
0-9 but finished third in a three-year-old handicap over course and distance on his second-last start and that race is working out pretty well; was trapped wide at Chelmsford next time and can bounce back; major player returned to this track.

Lucky San Jore 8.30 Wolverhampton
Poorly drawn and endured a wide trip when last of 11 here last month, but ran well either side as when fourth of 11 in a slowly run contest at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) four weeks ago; both wins have come over course and distance and he is back off the same mark as when taking this last year; interesting.

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 out 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. If you're still not sure how much your bet will return, you can work out your returns using our free bet calculator.
