Spotlight Lucky 15 tips: four horses to back at Fakenham, Haydock and Newcastle on Friday, October 17

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.

Eternal Force 3.05 Haydock - @9-4 (forecast odds)
Low-mileage 3yo who is 2-2 since being gelded, the latest performance in competitive field at Newbury (1m, good to soft) on handicap debut; this son of Dubawi looks the type to improve further; respected.

Police Academy 4.25 Fakenham - @6-4
Unlucky to lose June's hard-fought Uttoxeter chase win (3m, good) off this mark, when an ovarian tumour removed a month later was found to have increased her testosterone levels; effectiveness at today's shorter trip is long proven and this looks an easier contest than the 0-120 last time.

Kinswoman 4.50 Haydock - @13-8
She was bidding for a hat-trick when a close second of 18 off this mark at York (5f, good) last Friday; this well-bred and progressive 3yo is a leading candidate for her top yard if conditions suit (unraced on slow ground).

Woodraff 7.30 Newcastle - @6-1
Met trouble when third behind Ring Of Gold over C&D last month; gained compensation when a ready winner over C&D 17 days ago and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

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.
