Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Brighton, Carlisle, Southwell and Chelmsford on Thursday, October 16

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.

State Of Madness 1.45 Brighton - @5-4 (forecast odds)
Readily landed a gamble and opened his account in similar event over C&D (good to soft) last week on debut for new stable; looks capable of defying a 5lb penalty.

Alshadhian 4.15 Carlisle - @3-1
5yo who won at Southwell (2m, good) in June on second chase start and has been runner-up at Worcester (2m, good) on last two outings, bumping into an improved winner most recently; stayed well on the Flat and he's been shaping as though this step back up in trip could prompt further improvement.

Captain Parma 4.55 Southwell - @11-4
Back from a gelding operation to finish an improved close second of ten at Chelmsford (7f) a fortnight ago; that was only his second handicap and it's likely this unexposed 4yo will be winning soon.

Giant 6.15 Chelmsford - @11-4
Prominent racer who has form figures of 112 at Chelmsford and that latest second was behind a major improver over C&D last week; on same mark on this drop back in grade and this in-form 5yo is a big player from a good draw.

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.
