Lucky 15 Tips for today: Best racing tips

Check out our Lucky 15 for Friday's ITV Racing action from York.

What is a Lucky 15?

It’s one of those phrases you’re likely to hear when watching racing, so we thought it would be a good idea to explain exactly what a Lucky 15 means and how easy it is to place such a bet.

In short, the Lucky 15 is an acca including four elements, although all four bets don’t have to win to produce a profit/return.

The selections are combined into one four-fold accumulator, trebles, doubles and individual singles.

So, the Lucky 15 can be summed up as follows: 1 accumulator, 4 trebles, 6 double, 4 singles = 15 bets

An each-way Lucky 15, as advised below, is therefore 30 bets, and you will get a return of some kind if only one horse places.

FRIDAY

PERSIAN DREAMER - 1.50 York

Persian Dreamer³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: -| D

13/8

PERSIAN DREAMER ran to a high level for a newcomer when making a winning debut at Newmarket and should prove hard to beat with that performance backed up by the clock. Got To Love A Grey also posted a solid timefigure when scoring by a wide margin at Nottingham and is a clear-next best.

ARAMAIC - 3.00 York

Aramaic⁶⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 92| BF| CD

5/1

This is wide open and though he hasn't been seen for nearly 2 years, ARAMAIC can pick up from where he left off in 2021 and regain the winning thread for his top yard. Spirit Dancer took his form up a notch last season, so Richard Fahey's charge is fancied to give the selection most to think about, with Nobel and Eeetee another couple meriting consideration.

SISKANY - 3.35 York

Siskany^p⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 116| BF| D

9/4

SISKANY and Broome fought out a fine finish in Meydan's Dubai Gold Cup last time and Charlie Appleby's likeable sort is fancied to turn the tables on Aidan O'Brien's doughty 7-y-o meeting him on 3 lb better terms here with this shorter trip also likely to suit him more. This is no two-horse race though with last year's St Leger hero Eldar Eldarov and wide-margin Lonsdale Cup winner Quickthorn also well in the mix in a fascinating Yorkshire Cup.

IT JUST TAKES TIME - 4.45 York

It Just Takes Time⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 83| CD

4/1

IT JUST TAKES TIME just keeps on getting better and looks well treated under a penalty for last week's ready Thirsk success. The chief threat may come from fellow-last-time out scorers Tiempo Star and Titan Rock, the mount of William Buick.
